Remembering Pat Tillman: 10 Year Anniversary Special Report (2014) | Outside The Lines

On the 20th anniversary of former NFL player Pat Tillman’s tragic passing, take a look back at our 10 year anniversary documentary detailing the circumstances surrounding his untimely death. Initially attributed to enemy combatants, it was later uncovered that Tillman fell victim to friendly fire- a truth concealed from both his family and the public, sparking significant fallout and raising profound questions about honesty and accountability.

You can appreciate this man even if you are not an American!

Incredible man. Patriot 🇺🇸

[@veelindolent5794]

He and his brother enlisted , this is indicative of a strong brotherly bond. Another reason for Harry not to receive this award.

Pat Tillman Gone But Not Forgotten

[@donanger1968]

I hadn’t seen this one before. (I do think that they had him taken out because he was going to come back and talk.) So unfair.

There are much harsher interpretations out there. But there is no excuse for the officials in the USG that sought to lie.

He looked like a mix between Henry Rollins and Chris Pontius

EPIC LIGHT BEING

[@geordiecanuck2696]

The US government used him, got scared of him coming home and talking to Noam Chomsky, then chose to play the cover your a$$ game, which destroyed that platoon. But they picked on the wrong family. John McCain was the worst offender, considering his experience in Vietnam, and what was McChrystal thinking? Obviously not about force morale or his own complete lack of character. J'ACCUSE!!

[@codycisco9387]

Pretty accurate description and I agree on most parts, especially about Mcchrystal being a scum bag. But I’d say the platoon itself had a lot more to do with it than the way you verbalized. Lot of trigger happy dudes that wanted to get a combat badge before their service time was up. The whole entire firefight was completely unnecessary. The army covered it up after that, and definitely disgracefully used Tillman and lied to his family, but I think the main fault lies on the guys that were firing.

Jake Plummer destroyed that opening segment. Unbelievable

It saddens me how he died...he is a real Hero. I was in Bahrain as a civilian before Gulf War 1 & 2 and lived through it. Seen the sudden build-up of the miitary bases from sand to constructions, supplies and logistical supports for the war. Un Gulf War 1, we were heroes becasue they asked to be liberated. In Gulf War 2, they feel we occupied them,,,because we just came to fight. To the militaries, it was a missionn for the country and they are truly passionate, like Pat Tillman was...most especially for the Navy Seals...so much respect for them! Pat Tillman sacrificed his beautiful life for this Great Country USA,. He is only 1 Hero who saved many lives, there are more out there... not a Prince H pls!

[@KrazyJohnny]

They wont tell the truth

[@sonia354]

His family was always first?? In that case……. Harry definitely doesn’t deserve an award with Pats name on it…..

[@AquariusGirl27]

Harry put “his” family first!!!!!! When you understand all that’s been done to Harry, BY HIS BLOOD FAMILY, then & only then will you begin to understand what he went through & is STILL GOING THROUGH BY HIS BLOOD FAMILY………..SO HOW DARE YOU!!! I guarantee you have went through various things with your own family!!!!!!!

[@eslove5427]

Harry does NIT deserve the Pat Tillman Award!!

[@lauraragazzi464]

I'm speechless as much as I'm disgusted. Harry is just shameless. He doesn't deserve this award. He insulted Mary Tillman and Pat Tillman's memory.

[@adriennestjohn4383]

The BS inflicted on Pat Tillmans family is disgusting. The lies told! And its continuing to this day with Harry, the little boy prince getting an award because of Pat Tillman. Again disgusting! Surely there is someone more worthy than Harry?

[@lanettemartindale3967]

H should NOT receive the Pat Tillman Award! H has none of the values Pat Tillman held dear!

[@altorres5988]

Bro you tacked your own teammate 😂😂

[@KitKat-1976]

Why and how did Prince Harry end up receiving this award? I really don't know. I have just heard of this today because Prince Harry received this award. I'm genuinely grateful for Pat's service, and also saddened that he lost his life so young 🙏 I am the same age as Pat, and my Gosh, he died young! To me, he sounds like a great American and a patriot with high values. My sincere condolences to his family. Shouldn't his family had a say in this award, and who would receive it? 🤔 No disrespect to anybody.. I just really wonder how it came about for Prince Harry to receive the award.

[@altorres5988]

Hi I’m pat Tillman I got tackled by my own teammates 😂😂😂
