In May 2002, Pat Tillman walked away from his $ 3.6 million NFL contract to enlist in the United States Special Operations Forces. He was deeply troubled by 9/11, and felt a strong moral obligation to join the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, Two years later, he would die on a desolate hillside in south- eastern Afghanistan. The public was let to believe that Tillman had died in the line of duty, but most of the two dozen soldiers on the scene knew what the US Army had aggressively manoeuvred to conceal: that it was a ranger in Tillman's own platoon who had fired the fatal shots.
