I think Pat Tillman was a hero. Joining the military though, is a bit different from joining the CIA and Tillman spoke out while still in the field, surrounded by guys with rifles. It didn’t take Tillman 8 years to see through the lies.
I’m not saying everyone who has joined the CIA is evil and untrustworthy necessarily, but there are strong ties that bind them to the organization which I just can’t dismiss.
I wish Snowden the best and hope things work out. He’s in a terrible position.
