Sad...

I feel nothing but sadness for his family. The Army really screwed up the handling of his death. Having said that, does anyone know the names of any of the Marines killed by the A-10 on the road to Bagdhad? Didn't think so, they weren't professional athletes. If the soldier next to Tillman had been killed instead this wouldn't even be a story.

Fratricide has happened all throughout history and is usually caused by "the fog of war". Its easy to judge from the comfort of your living room or ESPN headquarters. Nobody is shooting at you there.
I hope his family finds peace.
