WASHINGTON — Relatives of several U.S. troops killed during a 2009 Afghanistan battle that led to a Medal of Honor award last week are questioning whether some Army officers got off too easily for mistakes that led to the deaths of five American military personnel.
In interviews for CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday, the mother of a Marine and the wife of an Army sergeant killed in the September 2009 firefight said reprimands given to two officers in an internal inquiry were not enough punishment.
Marine Dakota Meyer was awarded the nation’s top military honor for saving 36 lives during the battle.
