(BY) In this deleted "Family Guy" scene, football hero, ill-used "patriot," and friendly-fire victim Pat Tillman is doomed by his ignorance and hatred of 9/11 and craving for revenge. It was later revealed that he was posthumously exploited by the military for propaganda purposes.

Dhr. Seven and Amber Larson version, "Discourse to Yodhajiva the Warrior" (SN 42.3)
Yodhajiva the headman went to see the [Buddha]. Having bowed, he sat respectfully to one side. While sitting there, he said to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, I have heard that it has been passed down by the ancient teaching lineage of warriors (the kshatriya caste) that:
"'When a warrior strives and exerts in battle, if others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting in battle, with the breakup of the body, after death, that warrior is reborn in the company of light beings (devas) slain in battle.'
"What does the Blessed One have to say about that?"
"Enough, headman! Set that aside. Do not ask this question."
But a second time and a third time Yodhajiva the headman asked.
"Headman, apparently I have not been able to get by saying, 'Enough, headman! Set that aside. Do not ask this question.' So I will answer directly: When a warrior strives and exerts in battle, his mind is already seized, debased, and misdirected by the thought (intention): 'May these beings be struck down, slaughtered, annihilated, utterly destroyed! May they cease to exist!'
"If others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting in this way in battle, with the breakup of the body, after death, he is reborn in the hell called the realm of those slain in battle.
"But if he holds such a view as this: 'When a warrior strives and exerts in battle, if others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting in battle, with the breakup of the body, after death, he is reborn in the company of light beings slain in battle,' that is his wrong view (miccha ditthi, the antithesis of right view).
"I tell you, there are two destinations for a person with wrong view. Either one is destined for hell or the animal realm."
When this was said, Yodhajiva the headman burst into tears and sobbed. [The Buddha then said:] "That is what I could not get by you saying, 'Enough, headman! Set that aside. Do not ask me that.'"

"I am not crying, venerable sir, because of what the Blessed One said, but because I have been deceived, cheated, and fooled for a long time by that ancient teaching lineage of warriors."

"... I don't think they [US military and politicians] are very honorable people. I know they were lying.... we feel that there could have been something else that happened to Pat [Tillman] but -- I mean, we can't prove it. Every bit of evidence has been destroyed. ... Rumsfeld, Abizaid, Myers, and Brown collectively said, 'I don't know, I don't recall, I don't remember' about 82 times, and no one on that panel pressed them. No one did their research." - Pat Tillman's mother Mary on CNN's "Larry King Live." Filmmaker Michael Moore also wants the truth.
