Kind of brings to mind the whole 2004 Pat Tillman situation where the DoD and the White House mightily tried to turn his death into political and propaganda advantage for their own agendas. If Tillman had not be killed in the manner he was, the Homeland plot line would have been dismissed as "fiction" and anti-American. Truth is very much stranger than fiction and those politicians and other government officials who prey on other's tragedies are worse than any villains conjured up by the minds of writers...
