That's an angle I've never heard. Anyone have links that cover it?
They likely got buried pretty deep. I believe it was his wife that told the story
There was video of it, and it didn't happen in any way that op is implying it did. Tillman decided to go full hero (see: full retard) and basically ended up bold flanking his way into the middle of an active firefight. He got shot because he literally ran downrange and popped out without signaling the rest of the squad that he was going to do it. When I was in basic ZOGbot training they used him as an example of what not to do/what happens when you act like a hero.
This is an interesting take, but still a schitzopost-tier conspiracy theory with video evidence that it didn't happen. Not the protecting opium and oil for Mossad, that's real; but him being assassinated.
It's been a decade+ since I heard about Tillman. But the problem was wildly conflicting accounts about what happened to him. Originally they claimed he died like chasing down a nest of al-Qaeda or some such ridiculous story, making him out to be a hero. Later it turned out it was a friendly fire incident. But it was strongly suspected that they wanted to get rid of Tillman. The army couldn't have someone like him, so they put him in a situation where .. he would be killed.
No. The military is not, and never has been, as well organized/capable as you give them credit for. The amount of coordination that what you're talking about would've required in no way would have been justified, and the army isn't going to (and couldn't if they wanted to) murder some disillusioned jr enlisted infantryman and cover it up for decades; no matter the celebrity status or how insufferable he was. This is something from a Hollywood drama script, not real life. If they didn't want him they would have just left him stateside on rear-d.
If silencing a disgruntled/jackass specialist was that important, they could have chaptered him out of the army, or transferred him to Alaska, or sent him to the "big army." Guys get booted out of batt literally all the time. If they want you gone, they rfs you; do not pass go, no questions asked; you're on a one way bus trip to North Carolina.
I'm pretty sure they (used to at least) show the video or somethng to young rangers because Tillman was a jackass who almost got his entire fireteam killed. He wasn't put in any position, he basically Leroy Jenkins himself into a crossfire
Per most rangers I've ever met, the only conspiracy here is the promotion and silver star that he got simply because of his celebrity status.
Sure but the account of his death that was pushed by the military was known to be factually incorrect.

I also doubt that Pat Tillman personally said he was guarding opium fields for CIA and Big Pharma. THat part seems inserted.
