Tillman Comrade Recalls Final Moments

How is it that they can even have Chaplans lying for them now. God forgive you Sir.

A chaplain who debriefed the entire unit days after Tillman's death later described this exchange to investigators conducting a criminal probe of the incident. But O'Neal strongly disputes portions of the chaplain's testimony, outlined in some 2,300 pages of transcripts released to the AP this week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
The chaplain told investigators that O'Neal said Tillman was harsh in his last moments, snapping, 'Would you shut your (expletive) mouth? God's not going to help you; you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling ..."
"He never would have called me 'sniveling,"' O'Neal said. "I don't remember ever speaking to this chaplain, and I find this characterization of Pat really upsetting. He never once degraded me. He's the only person I ever worked for who didn't degrade anyone. He wasn't that sort of person."
The chaplain's name is blacked out in the documents.

'Hey, O'Neal, why are you praying? God can't help us now,

"As bullets flew above their heads, the young soldier at Pat Tillman's side started praying. 'I thought I was praying to myself, but I guess he heard me,' Sgt. Bryan O'Neal recalled in an interview Saturday. 'He said something like, 'Hey, O'Neal, why are you praying? God can't help us now,'" writes The Associated Press.
