as I get to the part in my book, 'Where Men Win Glory', the story of Pat Tillman's life and death, and the details of his death are described by several soldiers who were there. He was actually killed by a trigger-happy punk by the name of Trevor Alders, one of many who 'wanted to kill somebody' that day. During the investigation, or trial, Alders gave 5 conflicting stories of what happened, but the truth came out, from Ranger Bryan O'Neal, among many others, who was near Pat, behind a boulder, when he was shot. It's a miracle O'Neal wasn't killed too, but he said Pat's last words were, "Stop shooting, I'm Pat F' 'in' Tillman', as he was shot numerous times from about 60 yards away. Many Rangers,who were there that day, knew what happened, but STILL the military lied about it for nearly a year, all the way up to Rumsfeld, who claimed that he had been killed by enemy fire. An idiotic mission in an ill advised war, and the 'lying machine' kicked into high gear, to cover it up, since it was just months before W was up for re-election in 2004. Sickening. Luckily, his family wouldn't give up, until the truth came out.
