family. reporter: in all, eight americans died and 25 were injured in the battle at camp keating, one of the deadliest in the war in afghanistan. sergeant carter is stationed at fort lewis in washington state. he plans on staying in the military and speaking to other soldiers about posttraumatic stress which i still grapples with on occasion. bill: i bet he does. what an example he set. thank you, dan springer on that story in seattle. martha. martha: a massive wildfire is now inching closer to an american landmark and this thing is so big that it may be creating its own weather system. maria molina will explain that to us coming up next. bill: it might be the most encouraging milestone yet for sara murnahan and her family. we have the latest news on the lung transplant recipient whose recovery could be complete. let s hope. how are you feeling? good. you look good. sara, your walk today was
whether that manifests itself into posttraumatic stress, we ll have to see. she ll need a lot of grief counseling. she lost her mother and brother. gretchen: it s tough to ask, but there was a report out that she went away on a separate trip with this gentleman to hollywood, california several weeks ago, that she had told a friend that she felt uncomfortable with him now because he had some sort of a crush on her. but could she be complicit in this in any way? well, i don t like to use the word complicit, but i will say that this kind of predator grooms his victim often for years so that as adolescence with her was probably where it began and she probably felt flattered by his attentions, she probably she could have even had some delusion of having feelings for him, but again, this is all part of the manipulation. it s very easy to manipulate a
