What this episode covers
Football star Pat Tillman made headlines when he famously turned down a $3.6 million contract to continue playing with the Arizona Cardinals to join the Army Rangers following 9/11. Publicly, he gave no interviews and wanted to be treated like any other soldier. Privately, he was afraid the Bush Administration would use his recruitment and deployment as propaganda and, if he were to die, parade him down the streets- which is exactly what happened. When Pat was killed two years later by friendly fire, the highest levels of government covered up the truth of his death from even his family. His family worked tirelessly to not only learn the truth about his death but answer the question: who killed Pat Tillman?
