Our take on Taking Cover podcast

Presented by NPR's Pentagon reporter Tom Bowman and investigative journalist Graham Smith, Taking Cover explores the most devastating Marine-on-Marine friendly fire event in recent times. The tragic incident in Fallujah, Iraq, resulted in three lives lost, numerous injuries, and a crisis for top officials. Taking Cover goes beyond the unveiling of the blue-on-blue catastrophe during the Iraq war. It sheds light on the consequences of sending our youth to war, exploring themes of betrayal, fraternity, and the debt we owe to families, the injured, and the American public. Taking Cover is a society & culture podcast by NPR.
