"Pat had high ideals about the country; that's why he did what he did," Mary Tillman said in her first lengthy interview since her son's death. "The military let him down. The administration let him down. It was a sign of disrespect. The fact that he was the ultimate team player and he watched his own men kill him is absolutely heartbreaking and tragic. The fact that they lied about it afterward is disgusting."
"If this is what happens when someone high profile dies, I can only imagine what happens with everyone else."

So all the troops on the ground and the commanders and politicians know it was friendly fire, they changed the story, used the PR, then quietly told the family weeks later. A pretty pathetic showing, dishonoring this man's memory and dishonoring this country.
