(Basically, the bad guys cleaned up the scene and trotted out a "grieving" mother, and the Army investigators fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. IIRC, the only thing that saved the SEAL was that the "eyewitnesses" claimed the shooter was wearing an Army uniform, rather than the SEALs' Navy uniform.)According to Kyle, the SEAL snipers refused to do overwatch for the Army for a long time after that, but it had nothing to do with the soldiers on the ground.</blockquote>
