Leave aside the journos who don't know and probably don't care that there is a difference between soldiers and Marines, and think we should get a life on the subject (the same way they feel about clip versus magazine).
But WTF was going through the mind of the "official" who provided *this* tidbit?
Four Marines were killed instantly, while two others died while waiting for emergency helicopters to arrive, officials told NBC News. It wasn't immediately clear how the seventh soldier died.
That is sure to comfort the families as they try to cope with the news, and added not.one.thing. to the story. But it will leave the families with questions. Questions that were going to get raised in time, regardless - but way to go giving them that punch in the gut to go with the notification.
Dolt.
