This says his brother trained and served in the same unit but doesn't say where he is now.

Tillman was a very good up and coming DB. The Cardinals offered him a multi-year contract worth millions of dollars which he declined so he could serve his country. O0

Yeah, I think he led the Cardinals in tackles the year before he enlisted.  Does that sound right all you stat guys?  Thought I read that somewhere.

i wonder how many more deaths were like his that we dont have any clue about.

I have to agree with you.  I think there is a great deal of deaths overseas that happen when soldiers shoot their own.  And I know it sounds bad, and I'll prolly get flamed for it but I think the only reason they are making a big deal out of it is because Tillman is an athlete who gave up a contract to go overseas.  I feel more sorry for the families of the men and women that killed in the same way, yet don't get big government inquieres into their deaths

Why do they feel the need to make this announcement but when they're thousands of other deaths out there, we don't hear a peep? It's simply them using Tillman's name to help promote their image. (man I sound anti-US today)

They investigated that his death was a murder by soldiers.
