Somebody f’d up. The military takes death notifications seriously...whoever leaked that information may be in trouble.

Moose, did someone screw up? yes and no. Yes in that someone who knew the soldier had died contacted someone else with the news and that was relayed; to me the fault is on whoever sent out the first tweet or whatever. No, in that with cell phones tweeting and twerting and whatever, modern communications have gotten news events inside the official military chain of command.
