Episode description
On April 22, 2004, former NFL star Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire in a remote canyon in eastern Afghanistan. Over the next few weeks, a small but powerful group of people within the United States chain-of-command hatched a plan to cover-up how Tillman died. And though the truth eventually emerged, the damage was done: to the military for engaging in the cover up, to Tillman’s family who had been lied to repeatedly, and to the legacy of Pat Tillman, one of the most complicated heroes of the modern age.
Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman
