Tillman case; a failure of duty

Posted by Philip Barron at 11:35 AM on March 27, 2007.


 
Philip Barron: The Army's unacceptable response to the family of Cpl. Pat Tillman is a call to action -- for citizens and Congress. The struggle of one military family can give light to another
 
The Army's belated and begrudged findings of responsibility in the case of Army Ranger Cpl. Pat Tillman should satisfy no one. They certainly do not satisfy Tillman's family, which responded with a statement calling for a Congressional investigation: 

The characterization of criminal negligence, professional misconduct, battlefield incompetence, concealment and destruction of evidence, deliberate deception, and conspiracy to deceive are not "missteps." 

These actions are malfeasance.  
...But if that notoriety can serve as a catalyst to open dozens of cases - many of the families known to us - of troops who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan by fratricide, and whose families, like us, were deceived about the circumstances of these deaths.  

Philip Barron is a St. Louis writer and author of the blog Waveflux.

"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."  Ayn Rand
