Larry Johnson Had A lot To Say About The 17-Year Anniversary of Pat Tillman’s Death (TWEETS)

On April 22, 2004, former Arizona Cardinals safety and decorated Army Ranger Pat Tillman was killed in an ambush near the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Tillman had played four seasons as a star safety with the Cardinals, but would soon decided to step away from his career to enlist in the Army in 2002, eight months after 9/11.

Today is the 17th anniversary of Tillman’s tragedy, and like many things that involve sports or entertainment, Larry Johnson had something to say about it.

The former Kansas City Chiefs running back said the following:

Sad, imagine if he just waited, would’ve found out it was his own Government…

and didn’t deserve to fight/ friendly fired upon/die, looking for a CIA trained operative who was easily found in a cave by a random CNN reporter; or have the military lie to his family about it all. https://t.co/RjjB6KkRi2

America is funny, when They choose a sacrifice for a righteous lie, they’ll get the cream of the crop for that image…

For us? Cheating pastors, rappers, athletes, onetime porn actors on fentanyl.
