And we’re supposed to be proud of our government? Of our military?

Incompetence in our government is something I’ve grown accustomed to over the years. When stupid people vote in greedy imbeciles, incompetence is the name of the game.

Years of incompetent political leadership eventually “trickles down” into the Pentagon. And before you can say “waterboarding,” a good man loses his life to highly questionable circumstances… followed directly with fuzzy memories.

Committee says fuzzy memories hurt Tillman probe

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A “striking lack of recollection” by White House and military officials prevented congressional investigators from determining who was responsible for misinformation spread after the friendly fire death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman, a House committee said Monday.

Although military investigators determined within days that the onetime NFL player was killed by his own troops in Afghanistan following an enemy ambush, five weeks passed before the circumstances of his death were made public. During that time, the Army claimed Tillman was killed by enemy fire. [...]

The panel concluded that the lack of information “makes it impossible for the committee to assign responsibility for the misinformation in Corporal Tillman’s and Private Lynch’s cases.”
