Pat Tillman killed by "friendly" fire

It was right neighborly!

First of all, you just know the Army or whoever knew he got popped by one of his own guys and not in some Jessica Lynch-style, PR created hero scenario, but of course they had to let the hype die down a bit and wait until Memorial Day weekend to let that shit get out.

Fortunately, according to Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., this shouldn't affect his status as a Hamas-style recruitment tool. "This does not take away one iota from the heroic nature and courage of the man. The source of that fire is of little consequence in terms of heroism," Franks said.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree and then go one step further and, depending on the results of the investigation, actually nominate him for a Darwin Award. You know, just to use his death to further my own cause. If the right can do it, why can't we?
