Role at the time: Widow of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, who was killed in the March 1 strike
Statement summary
Tina Marzan, widow of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, told the Associated Press, "We have the right to know what really happened. If somebody messed up, those people need to be held responsible." She said a July briefing for families from Lt. Gen. Patrick Frank included no admission of error.
“If somebody messed up, those people need to be held responsible.”
The reference point is whether the military failed the soldiers at Port Shuaiba in protecting them or in caring for the wounded. Marzan asks to know what happened and says those responsible should be held accountable if somebody made a mistake; she makes accountability depend on an unresolved condition rather than asserting the failure. The closest competing label is Condemned, which would require her to say that the military did fail the soldiers. Evidence: direct quotations in an Associated Press report.
