Michael McDowell was interviewed on CBS News about accidents and fatalities during military trainings.
Michael McDowell: At first I thought that this was what happens when you train like you mean to fight. But when we went to San Diego to bring him back I had a couple of idle moments in the hotel. And I Googled "rollover" and "military." And I discovered that at Pendleton a month before, a Marine raider had died in a rollover. So I Googled further back, "the Army," et cetera. And suddenly I saw a whole series of deaths in rollovers of military vehicles, all kinds: Humvees, Light-Armored Vehicles, Bradley Fighting Vehicles. And then I realized this is not a single incident. This is a systemic problem.
