Pat Tillman
A tragic ending for an American hero.
I'm sure there are those who would prefer that there be no investigation of his death. I'm supposing those are the same people who get mad at the NYT for printing "bad news" and "scandal" reports, as if by not reporting them it's the same as if they'd never happened.
Denial is a habit of the feeble minded. Strength is what you discover when you face unpleasant truths and deal with them.
Does it make Pat Tillman less of a hero if he died under accidental or suspicious circumstances? No. Does it honor Pat Tillman to lie about the nature of his death or ignore it? No. Does it serve America to spoon feed its people discretionary truths? No.
Ignorance is not bliss... It's just ignorance.
