Report: Tillman's Mother Wants McChrystal Off Military Families Commission

The mother of a well-known Army Ranger killed in the war in Afghanistan says retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal was involved in the cover-up of her son's death and should be fired from his new post on a White House commission for military families.

Mary Tillman, whose son Pat Tillman was infamously killed by friendly fire in 2004, says McChrystal's appointment as a co-chairman of first lady Michelle Obama's "Joining Forces" campaign is an embarrassment to president Barack Obama and a slap in the face to military families. Tillman said the former general, who was relieved of command in Afghanistan last year, played a direct role in the military's attempt to recast Pat Tillman's death as the result of enemy fire and use the story for political reasons.

5. Another Shameful Appointment

[90-percent]

6. If you're into Conspiracy Theories

Consider the possibility that Tillmann was assassinated by his own government.

Because he was starting to question the purpose of the Wars and I think he was going to write a piece about it for some lefty publications?

That is based solely on my memories of this sad event. Facts and background from somebody less toasty than me would be appreciated.
