| Summary |
An interview with three former U.S. soldiers: Brandon Branch, Army Paramedic; Henry Montalbano, Sergeant, Green Beret; and Derrick Anderson, team commander, Green Beret -- who dispute a classified report that blames human error for the death of six others, including two Green Berets in Afghanistan. On June 9th, 2014, an American B-1 bomber plane incapable of detecting soldier's strobes killed its own forces after misidentifying them as Taliban. The surviving U.S. soldiers maintain that this faulty targeting system was responsible for the incident. Also includes interviews with: Woody Studenmund, father of Scott Studenmund, a Green Beret Staff Sergeant who was killed in the friendly fire attack; and Jeffrey Harrigian, former Air Force Major General |
