The US Army is to conduct a review of several hundred deaths of its
soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The move comes in response to complaints from families of those who died
that they have not always been given accurate information.

In one high-profile case, the family of former American football star Pat Tillman
were told he had been killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan.

Corporal Tillman's mother got it right when she said,

"People will be able to come to terms with the truth but if you were lied to once, then you're always going to be distrustful."

The military HAVE to be more open about these deaths, no matter how painful for all involved.
