your program 5/26 seemed unusually inappropriate & tone-deaf. A Memorial Day weekend probe into friendly fire incident took up most if not all of the program. (That's 50 min., not 60, as one must wait through 6-7 min. of advertising before any reporting.) This program was likely to offend anyone familiar at all with the military. That battle is chaotic, communication unreliable, and plans usually imperfect shouldn't surprise. Friendly Fire accidents occur often--even in "normal" police actions here at home. They are even more probable in our extended foreign wars with our over-extended troops. To present this obviousness smugly at length during Memorial Day seems yet another example of U.S. television media's distance from the reality of our military's problems, rather than an understanding annual memorial of courageous attention to duty.
