Pat Tillman's brother criticizes war

Phoenix(AP) -- The brother of an NFL player
who was killed in Afghanistan after quitting the
team to join the U.S. Army Rangers has spoken out.

Kevin Tillman, a former Army Ranger who served
in Iraq and Afghanistan with his older brother,
Pat Tillman, has remained silent since his brother's
death in 2004. But this week, he wrote a scathing
indictment of the war in Iraq, the Bush
administration and American apathy.

Good, I wish more former soldiers would come out and let the truth out.

And what would that solve or help?

Well, it helped get Rumsfeld fired...which helps our troops.

Both my nephews who are in Iraq and Afghanistan say the general feeling among a large number of the troops is that we should either fully take care of what business we need to do or just get out. Right now we're in a holding pattern with little or no concrete direction of where we're going with this. Hopefully with Rumsfeld out, things'll change.

I doubt things will change much. I trust the former head of CIA as much as I trusted Rumsfeld. But different is good.
