What is so wrong with him not remembering the details of when/how he found out that Tillman was killed.

Do you remember when you found out?
Do you remember how you found out? (Was it on CNN, did you hear it on CP?)

The guy had a pretty big job, and not remembering how he first found out about what is in the big picture, a pretty small piece of information is pretty minor.
