Left Says U.S. Soldiers Routinely Murder Officers

Many people on the Left have convinced themselves that Pat Tillman was not killed by friendly fire but murdered as part of an American military conspiracy. (See Leftist Conspiracy Theory.) In checking back at a site that furthers this idea, a commenter calling himself "Hans Auff" shares his wisdom based upon his service in Viet Nam.

If you fought in Viet Nam and/or know something about the military, perhaps you can analyze "Hans Auff's" remarks and tell us if he is just putting together urban legends or recounting his personal mis-deeds or is closer to plain nuts.

Okay, let's all pull out our old tunics. I served in the Army, late Vietnam. After all the flag waving and talk of fighting the commies over there so we wouldn't have to fight them over here had, as the same assinine invocation has currently, became a joke. Just as it is.

Well unless human beings in uniform and under combat stress has suddenly and radically changed then I would point out that the majority of US Army officers killed in Vietnam were killed by their own freaking troops in their own units. Not by the Vietcong, and not by friendly fire. (What a nice name). Friendly fire in Nam meant a US made handgrenade rolled into your tent at 2am without the pin.

But, all that old war stuff aside. I'm sure some real old timer from Korea has a different story to tell. Fact is, it was routine to take prisoners in Nam up 3,000 feet in a copter for interrogation. Ten at a time. Blindfolded, hands bound. You don't spill your guts out the door Charlie went. The tenth guy usually told you whatever you wanted to know. Yeah, war sucks. Killing gets to be a habit. And shooting first and asking questions later also gets to be a habit. Especially when poorly trained officers attempt to chicken$#!+ their way through command.

But, the facts remain that the military and government apparatus is refusing to release documents which @$$wipe has declared executive priviledge. Now, the twenty questions start here. EXECUTIVE PRIVILEDGE? What are you freaking kidding. The usual classified for National Intelligence might have worked nicely, they ain't even that smart. Which is another point. This is not the brainiac gang you have in charge here. Without a doubt douchbag and his administration would ^#[% up a two car funeral in the middle of the Nevada desert.

Fact remains that this kid Tillman was hit in the head with three rounds so close as to make it impossible to match the "various and numerious", stories that his fellow soldiers and so-called superiors put out, re-edited, changed, re-edited, and lied about. A senior officer was so off his freaking rocker and arrogant that he even justified his incompetancy by declaring the Tillman's unGodly atheists. We will reframe from detailing where the good Ginreal should stick his cross.

Fact remains that the story the fellow soldier tells (which version is this), about how Tillman dies sounds fishy at best. Including the part about Tillman badmouthing him with some knock on God (that fits nicely into the good Ginreals dillusion even).

Unknown fact, but would be good to know. One responder (does that make us first responders), one posted comment said they were M16A1 rounds. Now, I admit I don't know precisly how to identify a spent round as coming from an A1 or an A3, but there is a fact here that A1's have not been used since Nam. Back in my day. When our army was busy waxing it's officers. Perhaps they are so much more professional now. Like saving aircraft fuel by sexually abusing prisoners during interrogation instead of shoving them out the door at 3,000 feet. Okay, they've improved that much. Basically however, given the dollars ridingon the line here, given the lies, deceipt, cover-up, arrogance, dilussional Christian fundementalist fanatic leaders (if no one else, at least the main culprit the army picked to take the rap), given the fact that no one, including the army knows $#!+- about the paid mercs, given the CIA officers now retired who have spoken out on the conflict between the CIA and Rumskulls army in Afganistan making it sound like something just short of actual gunfire at each other, and given s--- for brains and his side kick black heart have $#!+canned the constitution... Then yeah, I'd say there's more than half a chance that Tillman was hit, and not by so called friendly fire.

He doesn't sound like my friends who fought in Viet Nam, but he does sound typical of the bitter anti-American Left. Such honor.
