Government cover-ups, conspiracy theories, and mysterious doings are works of fiction. They are what we expect from the latest movie at the cineplex and what we happily equate to being make-believe because to admit our government could lie to us, its people, is something of too great a consequence. The reality of the situation is that cover-ups do happen. People are lied to in order to hide the truth that a perfect system does not in fact exist. The Tillman Story brings to light a very controversial, and very true, story about Pat Tillman. Pat was a football star who chose to leave a multi-million dollar contract and join the Army Rangers. He did not want to be seen as a hero but as a citizen who felt a need to defend his country. It is what happened to Pat Tillman that made him into a propaganda tool for the army as well as part of one of the most unimaginable military cover-ups in recent history.
