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.

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

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.
