Fort Benning’s public affairs officer, Bob Purtiman, said that responding to these comments was critical.

“With something this big, this big of news, it’s very important to put the correct record out there,” Purtiman said. “In this day and age, when information is instant, we take our responsibility very seriously to ensure everyone understands what all of these soldiers went through.”
