I contacted CNN after I received the message referenced. A few things about it caused me to raise an eyebrow. First of all, it says Savidge is with the 1st Division, 1st battalion when he is with the 7th division, 1st battalion. Also, Savidge is a quintessential professional and I am sure he has been witness to many things that would shake someone else, but not him.
I received a reply from CNN saying that no such interview by Savidge was ever transmitted to them or broadcasted by them. As for finding someone that actually saw the interview, you have to know someone out there will claim that they did. A lie begets more lies.

"First of all, it says Savidge is with the 1st Division, 1st battalion when he is with the 7th division, 1st battalion."

There is no 7th Marine Division so how could that raise your eyebrow?
I believe he's with 1/7 - i.e., 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment
