Pat Tillman

The last couple of days have brought us some insight on the controversysurrounding Pat Tillman'sdeath, and how thegovernment lied about it. We're also reminded of what LTCRalph Kauzlarich said of Tillman.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich said: "When you die, I mean,there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and youdon't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You areworm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more- that ispretty hard to get your head around that. So I don't know how an atheist thinks.I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough."

Asked by ESPN.com whether the Tillmans' religious beliefs are a factor in theongoing investigation, Kauzlarich said, "I think so. There is not a wholelot of trust in the system or faith in the system

. So that is my personal opinion, knowing what I know."

That statement pretty much speaks for itself. I wouldn't besurprised if the lovely Lt. Col. was a secret member of the WestboroBaptist Church (CAUTION: this is a very offensive site, and the membersprotest soldier funerals and "thank God" for their deaths)
