After Pat’s Birthday by Kevin Tillman

Here is a letter written by Kevin Tillman, brother of the late Pat Tillman discussing the war in Iraq and how things have gotten so out of hand.

After Pat’s Birthday

Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat in 2002, and they served together in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. Kevin, who was discharged in 2005, has written a powerful, must-read document.

I wonder how the rest of our troops feel about fighting a war for the, as Kevin writes, "...American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally invading a nation (and) has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers on the ground."

What a sad indictment. I feel truely sorry for those who are putting their lives on the line for this administration and hope that they return home safely and quickly.
