What the hell is going on with this country?
As bullets flew above their heads, the young soldier at Pat Tillman's side started praying.
from AP
Sgt. Bryan O'Neal recalled in an interview Saturday with the Associated Press I thought I was praying to myself, but I guess he heard me. He said something like "hey O'Neal why are you praying?" "God can't help us now."
According to the story Pat threw a smoke grenade to identify them, and called out cease fire,friendlies. I am Pat fucking Tillman,damn it.
A Chaplin who debriefed the entire unit days after Tillman's death, later described this exchange to investigators. But O'Neal strongly disputes portions of the Chaplins testimony. The Chaplin told investigators that O'Neal said Tillman was harsh in his last moments, snapping "Would you shut your (expletive) mouth? God's not going to help you;you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling...
He never would have called me sniveling. O'Neal said. I don't ever remember talking to this Chaplin, and I find this characterization of Pat upsetting. He never once degraded me. He's the only person I ever worked for who didn't degrade anyone.
The Chaplins name is blacked out in the documents.
In a previous post I made on this subject, I suggested what the Pentagon released was possibly a form of Swiftboating Pat, now I am convinced of this. I am so proud of this young Ranger for speaking up and defending Pat Tillman. I still find it very hard to understand why our Government won't
Update:This time they have gone over the line. I thank all you kossacks for your time, comments, and caring thoughts about this very important issue.A few of you thanked me for this diary, which I appreciate, the only credit should be because I was the one who hit the Publish diary button first. We must continue to discuss this important crucial subject. We must continue to demand the truth. We must continue to open the doors, and push back the curtain.
If anyone noticed I recommended, nearly all comments, whether they were for or against my diary. I did this because, I welcome an open debate and respect all opinions. We are all talking about this most important issue, and trying to change the course of this travesty. We owe this to Pat, his family and our country's future.
I would be amiss, if I didn't thank all the Kossacks who posted links. Special thanks to MadAsHellHannah for her links,powerful stuff, appreciate very much.
If all of America stands up against this travesty and all the other immoral criminal lies of this administration, this administration will standdown.
