I know that I’ve already posted tonight but I fear that this story has been swallowed up by the news cycle and that’s a shame. For anyone out there who missed Kevin Tillman’s absolutely inspiring testimony about the government’s treatment of his brother Pat’s death, here it is again.
That the Tillman family had to endure this is a national disgrace. That amidst all of this knowledge, we are letting this administration send troops back for second and third tours in this war is an international tragedy.
And by the way, the title of this post is from the Dire Straits song, Brothers In Arms.
The complete stanza reads:
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
