Because he was famous, people knew his face. It's what the media does. For a large amount of Americans Pat Tillman was the only Army Ranger they've ever heard of.
Just because the media follows a story far too much doesn't mean all Americans believe in what they are saying. Please don't judge the American people by what our media says or does.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
