The Tillman family has gone too far!

This insult to Dear Leader Bush cannot be borne! We must mobilize the Elite Smear Squad immediately! Are the Swifties doing anything right now?
All sarcasm aside, good for them. It's pretty obvious that it was no accident that his tragic friendly fire death was deliberately misrepresented as a heroic engagement with the enemy, and there's no way in hell that this was done without the connivance of _someone_ high up in the administration. The Pentagon wouldn't be stupid enough to do it without permission, though I suppose it's barely possible that that permission didn't come from Bush himself.
On another note, I, personally, think that an atheist who joins the Army, or otherwise puts their life at risk for the sake of something they believe in, is a hell of a lot braver than a religious person who does the same. The religious person, after all, hopes for a reward in the afterlife. That's just my opinion.
