HA! The super bowl did NOT air an ad about Pat Tillman, they did NOT. Omfg. The ad is about how he left a pro football career to join the military and was killed in the line of duty, but now the foundation bearing his name is giving back to other patriotic football players.
He sure WAS killed in action! Pat Tillman joined after 9/11 after being swept up in propaganda l, but during his time in Iraq became a vocal anti-war proponent. Pat Tillman was then murdered by fellow squadmates for his stances, his murder was covered up, and he’s been used as a recruiting tool since.
Initially it was reported he was killed by enemy fire in a fight. Then it came out he was killed by friendly fire. THEN it was revealed he was shot 3 times in the back of the head at close range.
American military propaganda machine knows absolutely no bounds.
Exactly, and to even address if it WASNT murder, the best case scenario is that a man deeply deeply disillusioned with and disturbed by the Iraq war was killed by friendly fire in a big whoopsie and then the gov lied to the nation to continue using him as a poster boy, and WORSE, lied to his family about what happened, and the family only got SOME answers after they went digging and urged public pressure. And EVEN WITH this information that IS confirmed, they drag the poor man’s corpse out to recruit people into a military he was against and got him killed. Fucked
