In the Spring of 2002, Patrick Daniel Tillman Jr. announced to the American Football team the Arizona Cardinals that he would be enlisting in the U.S army. This decision caused a public outcry as many could not understand what would drive him away from the NFL and toward the battlefields of the Afghanistan War. Controversy and questions would follow when in May 2004, weeks after his death, it is discovered that he had been killed by friendly fire after it was covered up as enemy fire.
