Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire

Because of the sacrifice he made to become a ranger, with his brother, convinces me he believed very strongly in what he was doing. He was big, strong, tough and probably at least above average intelligence. All that together, makes me think he was probably as "gung ho" as a Ranger gets. Maybe even abrasive.
I hope it was an accident.

I would think it was. Fragging occured in Vietnam because the draftee grunts who had been in-country for a while, saw their green, newly arrived lieutenant giving stupid orders which were going to cost everyone's lives. I don't think that scenario applies in the Gulf.
