Review of The Tillman Story (2010) by Tim P — 30 Apr 2011

Another example of corruption and cover-up...The Inside Job is more today because the financial crisis affects everyone and it does an outstanding job of educating what happened, how it could have been avoided and the corruption involved with money and power and cover-up...This movie does the same thing except it illustrates the disgusting exploitation of a "all-american hero, football star" to further wars that a. Iraq should have never happened...b. Afghanistan- time to get out of....and the sad realities that Mr. Tillman who just wanted to do the right thing has been wronged by the very people he admired.

Kudos to his mom and family for digging for the truth and taking it as far as they could..Unfortunately, at the time, politics- CYA'S!

Another great educational doc on power/corruption and the embarrassment that was the Bush era...but then again, Obama continues those same policies...

This along with my movie, Severe Clear illustrate well what and why these guys join the military and then once they form an opinion on something, get shutdown...but because Mr. Tillman was a football star, his "fame" was used for the ultimate cover-up...I feel sorry for him and his family that this happened but at the same time, again, kudos to them for not sitting on thei ass and accepting what the government wanted them to believe, but asking questions...

War is an unfortunate necessity....Education and asking questions are fortunate necessities as well...
