A former Army Ranger who fears he fired the fatal round that killed NFL star Pat Tillman in Afghanistan has spoken out. Steven Elliott, 34, told the story of the moment Tillman was killed by friendly fire on April 22, 2004 when his regiment was ambushed. Elliott and other Rangers fired shots because they believed 27-year-old Tillman, who gave up a $3.6million football contract to serve his country in the aftermath of 9/11, was a Taliban insurgent. Elliott, a Kansas native and Oral Roberts University graduate who was on patrol with Tillman when he died 11 years ago, spoke in front of the congregation at Redeemer Covenant Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Sunday.

I still think the Republican admin of Bush/Cheney had him murdered.
When did you become a conspiracy freak? You are right, of course. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Ah, murdered by Republicans. Of course. It was only a war, what else could have killed him?
I'm surprised Pericles didn't suggest Reagan himself killed Tillman... Followed by Deckards famous... Attaboy... no conspiracy is a bad conspiracy. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Yes, Bush and Cheney happen to be Republicans. And I think their admin murdered Tillman because he was a public relations threat to their propaganda narrative.
THAT is funny,
We know who didn't kill Tillman. Or cover up the entire sordid affair and lying "Official Report." HINT: NOT the Afghans.
The Army Ranger feels sad about killing Tillman? I wonder what Tillman thinks about the matter.
Now that you mention it, Reagan's policies created the Afghani jihad movement that down the line caused 9/11 and then the death of many, including Tillman.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
