Military initially covers up
On this day in 2004, Pat Tillman, who gave up his pro football career to enlist in the U.S. Army after the terrorist attacks of September 11, was killed by friendly fire while serving in Afghanistan. Tillman, who was only 27, was mistakenly gunned down by his fellow Rangers, a fact which the military attempted to cover up. After a criminal investigation, the Army censured retired three-star general Philip Kensinger for lying to investigators and other violations. Several brigadier generals and other lower-ranking officers were also disciplined.
