Taking Cover
It was the worst Marine-on-Marine friendly fire incident in modern history. But it’s not in the history books. An explosion in Fallujah, Iraq left three dead, a dozen wounded, and – for high-ranking officials – a dilemma. So, why were the families of the deceased lied to? Why did the reports mysteriously disappear? And why do survivors still have to wonder about what happened on the worst day of their lives? Taking Cover, an NPR investigative series from the Embedded podcast, isn’t just a show about unraveling blue-on-blue tragedy during the Iraq war. It’s about what happens when we send our young to war. It’s a story of betrayal, brotherhood, and what’s owed – to families, the wounded and to the American public.
