But it seems they were on a political vendetta for something that occurs during any war. It was quite clear that Pat didn't want to be glorified in Arlington Cemetery or used as a prop but it did happen. I thought the congressional hearing to be more of an embarrassment for the Tillman's than the government. The Jessica Lynch episode was an outright stage play that should have had far reaching implications but because she was no celebrity and alive it didn't happen.
