I used to chuckle at the US Army comment card that came with a new, in the box Kevlar helmet. Something to the effect of “please fill out the form and describe damage in the diagram provided and return if your helmet is penetrated by a projectile.

“My gunner and I began laying down fire when I got hit,” Chance said. “My squad sergeant, who had been directing our fire, also got hit in the head and went down.”

Sometimes I chuckle, sometimes I cringe.

I'm quite certain that, despite the quotation marks, Chance did not say "my squad sergeant". He said either, my squad leader or my team leader. But, the ignorant journalist for an official Army web page says squad sergeant and the Command Sergeant Major doesn't check the story before it's posted.
