The military released a video of her rescue, they did not tell the media to talk about it for a week and turn her into a hero. Find me official sources in the military that sensationalized their stories and I might agree with you. But there is no evidence of that as of yet, as that article explains.

Speaking as someone who actually knows the Tillman family, you couldn't be more wrong. They're good people who just want the military to come clean about what happened. Ya know, that thing called accountability. I don't see how that can be perceived as a vicious agenda. In fact, it really makes me sick that its being portrayed as such, or even hinted at.
