07/28/2007: "American hero killed for crowd-unfriendly views"
It has been widely reported by the AP and others that Spc. Bryan O'Neal, who was at Tillman's side as he was killed, told investigators that Tillman was waving his arms shouting "Cease fire, friendlies, I am Pat (expletive) Tillman, damn it!" again and again.
The chaplain said that O'Neal told him he was hugging the ground at Tillman's side, "crying out to God, help us. And Tillman says to him, `Would you shut your (expletive) mouth? God's not going to help you; you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling ..."
[ One lone man goes ahead and talks about reality, so they shoot him, and because letting the world know that he was killed for telling the truth might wreck the US army, everyone from privates to presidents helps cover it. What a pathetic nation-- in the sense of deserving pity, for its fall is gonna be gross. ]
