What really happened with Tillman?

Only thing I hate about all this is all the publicity he gets as opposed to any other soldier who might have had suspicious circumstances involved in their death. Really any of the guys who die over there. No matter what your stance is, they are all heroes.

I'd say they see a lot more bullet wounds than the avg stateside doctor. Also seem to remember a story that when Tillman's group came under FF, he tried to get up and let them know they were Americans. Might have put in a position to get the first couple of shots while the message sunk in.

Some are firearms and forensics experts. The folks diong autopsies aren't general practitioner MD's. Not just an average MD takes on the job of ME. They specialize in suspicious/unattended death diagnosis.
