Pat Tillman killed for anti-war?

This is a dark country. They kill to silence dissenters.

Quote, "Were War Critic Soldiers Killed To Send Message?

Two soldiers who wrote op-ed that contradicted Patraeus report die in strange accident, while another is shot in the head in case that bears chilling resemblance to Pat Tillman story

September 14, 2007
Paul Joseph Watson

The mother of a soldier who died in an apparent vehicle accident shortly after writing a New York Times op-ed critical of the war in Iraq is demanding to know the truth about what happened to her son, while another author of the piece was also shot in the head in a case that bears a sinister resemblance to the murder of Pat Tillman.

Like Tillman, 28-year-old Sergeant Omar Mora enlisted shortly after 9/11 in the belief that he was fighting to protect his country from terrorists.

However, after the invasion of Iraq Mora became increasingly skeptical of the true agenda behind the war and in August he, along with six other active duty soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division, wrote a stinging New York Times op-ed that slammed the occupation as "flawed," "absurd," and concluded that the sentiment of the Iraqi people renders the ultimate withdrawal of American troops inevitable.

The op-ed directly contradicts the foundation of the Patraeus report and characterizes the occupation as doomed to failure if the Bush administration's current policy is continued.

Just over three weeks after the op-ed was published, two of its authors, Mora and Sgt. Yance T. Gray, were killed in an apparent vehicle accident when their truck veered off an elevated highway in western Baghdad and fell about 30 feet, the military said.

Was this a simple accident or another Pat Tillman style cover-up? Was a message being sent to other soldiers who are considering speaking out against the war that dissent has deadly consequences?

Even if we are to dismiss the truck wreck as nothing more than an accident, another factor that has received next to no press attention should send red flags up for everyone.

A third author of the letter was also shot in the head in a separate incident during the time when the op-ed was being written. Though Staff Sgt. Jeremy Murphy survived and is expected to make a full recovery, the fact that three of the seven authors of the op-ed were either killed or received life-threatening injuries shortly before and after the publication of the piece is highly suspicious.

Sergeant Mora's mother certainly has questions - and is now demanding the Army provide a full account of the circumstances that led to her son's death.

After the op-ed was published Mora became depressed and wanted to return home. "He told me, 'Mama, I am tired, I am so tired. I want to come home,' " his mother, Olga Capetillo, recalled of a recent phone conversation," reports the Houston Chronicle .

As we reported in July , the revelation of astounding new details surrounding the death of Pat Tillman clearly indicated that top brass decided to execute the former pro football star in cold blood to prevent him from returning home and becoming an anti-war icon.

Medical examiners concluded that the Army Ranger was shot with an M-16 three times in the head from a mere 10 yards away. The close proximity of the bullet holes raised suspicions that foul play was involved but attempts to launch a proper investigation were stymied by higher-ups and a cover-up ensued.

Wait, I don't have on my lead belt, nor my tin foil hat.

The only intentional friendly fire in combat would be for
risking the lives of your fellow soldiers or gross incompatence.
Otherwise, you can believe what you want. You trust each other with your lives.
No sane individual would kill someone that could save your life in the future.

I can say that in my Army unit there is dissenting opinion on Iraq, on religion and all other things; I can even say that there is rumored homosexuals and people of very conflicting lifestyles. There are even rumored racists (on both ends)...

However, it is utterly inconceivable that we would kill each other. Any command that was ever received by anyone to kill another soldier would be reported, fragrantly disobeyed and no matter the rank of whom issued it they would be utterly destroyed by the uniform code of military justice.

The Army is not a [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth] street gang that can call hits on whomever they want; the Army is not without discipline.

What is being suggested is ridiculous and insulting.

I wouldn't put it past the military or government. I always hear from conservatives and 'patriots' that if i don't agree with this and that, that I can go live in Iran or something. So dissent is increasingly coming to the point where violence might be attached.

Are you actually suggesting that a conservative telling you that you should go live in another country is somehow...nevermind...I'm at a loss.

Suffice it to say that this thread is one of the most asinine and unbelievably disgusting things I've ever read on this forum. Whoever started it should be ashamed of themselves.

Please tell me you're referring to the OP. ..PLEASE. I really like Finland and I don't want to lose faith in you guys....

Yes. Who did you think I was referring to?
I think the description in the OP is something one would see in a movie.

Again, you're stretching as well. Can you provide statistical proof that a Soldier or Marine will kill another, simply for disagreeing with a politicians policy?:scratch:


It was right after 9/11, people were all patriotic and wanting to fight. Now, tell me, if you are in a strange land fighting an enemy using guerilla tactics, would you be paranoid a bit? Furthermore, if one of your fellow soldiers is going on about how awful war and such is, do you think that it might really get to some people?

I know I have been threatened with violence for political ideas, so this doesn't surprise me at all if it is indeed found out to be true.

A majority of the military voices dissent about the war, and they aren't being killed for it. It's been going on since 9/11.

As for the threat of violence against, I'm sorry that happened but that's a case of someone not respecting your right to free speech.

Not that this in any way excuses them being killed(IF that is in fact what happened) but it is a major breach of military regulations for an active duty soldier to publicly criticize their commanders and/or the top of the command chain.
