I have to agree with you. Since it was known that the family was getting in front of the press, it seems they should have been prepped for the situation.

What advantage was there in not sharing the info about the 507th with the family? None, that I can see.

I doubt it occured to anyone (even the person asking the question) that they didn't know.

To me, the point isn't whether the family knew or didn't know.

The point should be that the question was totally inappropriate and should never have been asked to begin with.

Let's suppose that the family did know. Does anyone here think her family's response would have been much different than it was? The implication behind the question seemed to me to be asking how can you be so elated when there were 8 confirmed KIA's announced that were part of her unit. Now, it takes some kind of *ss*ole to even want to pose that question.
