Politics: New gig for Stanley McChrystal = Upsetting Pat Tillman’s mom

  • Mary Tillman furious at McChrystal’s new gig: President Obama appointed former General Stanley McChrystal to lead an advisory panel on military families, and the struggles they face when their kin are in combat. Mary Tillman, mother of Pat Tillman, the ex-NFL ranger famously killed by friendly fire (a fact the military, and allegedly McChrystal himself, had sought to hide) in Afghanistan, expressed outrage. “[McChrystal] deliberately helped cover up Pat’s death and he has never adequately apologized to us for doing that… I think it’s a slap in the face to all soldiers to appoint this man to be on this committee.” source

  • Wild thingGen. Stanley McChrystal’s darkest mark on his record is his link to the hiding of Pat Tillman’s friendly fire death. Here, “Into the Wild” author Jon Krakauer calls McChrystal’s denial of a Tillman cover-up “preposterous” and “unbelievable.”

  • Swine foolIn an interview with Russia Today, everyone’s favorite crazy old guy, Ron Paul, goes on and on about how the U.S.-funded swine flu vaccine was a bad idea and a huge waste of money. We don’t say this very often, but: Shut up, Ron Paul.
