@Taobert Go read up on this fucking guy. He got 3 to the forehead from 30 yards away while screaming his name. Now go ask a vet why somebody would get 3 to the forehead.
I read the book, thanks. He was shot with a SAW (squad automatic weapon) by a 5"5' 140lb guy named Alders with napoleonic complex from probably 50 yards away out of a moving GMV. This soldier was RFS'd (released for standards) back down to normal army and in a letter he wrote in his defense, it proved he never quite accepted responsbility for shooting Tilman, it was a mistake,
which it was, but complete gross negligence from some trigger happy idiot whose own platoon mates regarded as "pathetic...he was a child. Pat was just about the only guy in the platoon who treated him with respect."
@Taobert You are wrong sir. He was killed because he was a terribly Dangerous leader and he was about to blow the whistle to the press about our failures in the Afghan war. He had no regard for his men, and he was about to betray our nation. So ya get 3 to the head for it and for good reason!
you are full of shit wow. btw tilman was w/ another ranger, theres no possible way they wouldn't whistleblow an assassination attempt. you are regurgitating some conspiracy bullshit and mixing it with some notion of military honor where soldiers ought not speak out against their country. Just the contrary, soldiers are in the best position to inform the public what is going on. I sure wouldn't trust you though, tell me what branch so I can tell your wingmen to stay the fuck away from you.
Furthermore, blow the whistle to the press? He was in Afghanistan there is no press you moron. There's internet at a base camp that's he's not even remotely near, it would have been another year until he was discharged. What the fuck does a guy patrolling the pakistani border going to think of failure in afghanistan, he's just doing his job patrolling the border killing taliban. How old are you btw, you sound like 15.

Screaming his name to guys in an GMV who have been pumping off hundreds of rounds with a .50 calibre gun next to their ears.

Shame on the military for lying to the family of hero Pat Tillman and the public about the circumstances of Tillman's death in Afghanistan.
Just tell the truth.
One man saw what happened to Tillman, and he was told to keep quiet about it.
Tillman and others who have, and are serving their country, are not doing so to have their families lied to.
Military leaders lie through their teeth to make the war on terror look better than it really is.
Don't serve your country!
