Soldiers life threatened by his own side.

In addition, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Associated Press, the Defense Department released 2,300 pages of documents which were reported to indicate:[27]

- There has never been evidence of enemy fire found on the scene, and no members of Tillman's group had been hit by enemy fire.
- The three-star general, who withheld details of Tillman's death from his parents for a number of months, told investigators approximately 70 times that he had a bad memory and couldn't recall details of his actions.
- Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, punishments.
- Army doctors told the investigators that Tillman's wounds suggested murder because "the medical evidence did not match-up with the scenario as described."[29]
- There were special forces snipers in the group immediately behind Tillman's platoon.[29]
....
The destruction of evidence linked to Tillman's death, including his personal journal, led his mother to speculate that he was murdered.[30] General Wesley Clark agreed that it was "very possible".[31][32]

In the Army, you can't speak ill of your commanding officer apart from the chain of command without facing consequences including a court martial. Correct me if I am wrong, but I also believe on an issue of violating human rights, you cannot legally override your CO...you can only report him after the massacre.

"I was only following orders" is an old and fallacious defense.
