WASHINGTON - The brother of Pat Tillman, the soldier who saw Tillman die and the naval officer who eulogized him told Congress in emotional testimony Tuesday that the military misled the nation and betrayed Tillman's family with false stories about how the former NFL star and San Jose native died.

Kevin Tillman, who served with his brother in an Army Ranger platoon, went further. With his mother, Mary Tillman, at his side and military brass sitting behind him, he accused leaders of "exploiting Pat's death" with "deliberate, calculated lies" that suppressed how other Rangers accidentally killed Tillman in a 2004 "friendly fire" incident in Afghanistan.

Interesting info about this military cover up is coming out..
The US with its " Friendly Fire " has caused more harm to our forces than our enemies..
It also shows deliberate lies right at the top of the tree.
Just a shame it takes such a high profile death to bring the conspiracy to the publics attention..
If it had just been a normal soldier, it probably would of just been brushed under the carpet like usual..
Hopefully this and other cases like this will show the true colours of the top brass, and the lengths they will go to to cover their arses.
