Purity-Control - Unusual decision yes, but that gives this story what "Entertainment Value" IMO thats the angle that is being used to sensationalize this story.

It wouldn't be the first time the military has lied to families of fallen soliders.

I don't know what this movie hopes to accomplish.

Tillman died a hero period.[/

I can tell you some of the BS stories they (the Gubment) would tell. Against orders, we made sure the families of our buddies knew the truth on the sly. It would crush my heart to hear the Moms cry all over again but you could see the prideful tears from both Mom and Dad. We had all agreed that we would do that for eachother.

I totally agree with the last line. Any fallen serviceman is a hero...

Wait are you a Miami fan now that USC turned out to be a fraud this past decade? It's hard to keep up.

Go back to the Tinderbox, ye yellow bellied Sapp sucker.

I looked at the Top 20 the other day. Didn't see one team other than USC I care about. Not one. Unless Kentucky surprises.

I listened to part of an interview with Tillman's mom. Its interesting that she said her book was not an attack on the government, or the military, or a particular party. Instead she just wanted to ensure the truth came out.

Its interesting to see how many here blame "the goverment" for covering up how Pat Tillman died. "The government" didn't cover up anything, nor did the Army. That makes it seem as if its the policy of the military to coverup all friendly fire incidents, when nothing could be further from the truth. The military has admitted to numerous friendly fire incidents over the years, including shooting down some british attack aircraft by mistake.

Individuals made a decision to coverup how he died. Some individuals made a decision to violate regulations and mislead their superiors. And those individuals are the ones who the anger should be directed at.

How can you comment that much when you only listened to part of it?

Common Sense?

The interview on NPR was about 20 minutes long and I caught about half of it during lunch today. For most of the interview, she talked about her son, why he joined, and what she believed happened the day he was killed. There was very little criticism of the military in the part I heard.

But not all of my comments were based on the interview.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
