I have wondered what his old man was thinking about this. Mrs. Tillman has been pretty open about how she feels.

Okay here goes-they whacked him because he was about to come home and was probably going to be a very visible and effective speaker AGAINST the war. We know from the interview of his mother in the SF Chronicle that Pat and his brother joined the Army to go to Afghanistan and that he (they?) were dead set against Iraq from the get go. I have read that Pat openly talked about this in his unit (he loved just throwing out topics to stimulate the minds and conversation of his younger buddies. He didn't care what side you took as long as it was informed, thought out, and delivered in an intelligent way) and was scheduled to meet with......Noam Chomsky when he got back.

They did him to make sure he didn't come home and not only embolden the growing "bring them home" crowd but imagine what this guy would have done to the usually disaffected ESPN crowd.

I always thought that they killed him. Not anyone in his unit probably someone else who just happened to be there.
