1) Ignoring the obvious point that you're getting at, string - poke two sticks in the ground, tie it between them and you have a straight line.

I thought that too

try digging a massive hole with hand tools and see how even you get it. That grave was way too neat for something hand dug, which is what it'd have to be.

Ian, getting the straight line wasn't the problem. If I recall, the strings used to layout the grave were still there (weren't they?). I suppose my point is what Skydiver has said, the hole is too neat to have been dug with hand tools, unless they took a very long time doing it.
So, is this just a nitpick on my part, or was the intent by the producers of the show to indicate some kind of military respect by the rebels towards Danny for his part in taking out the helicopter? I can't say that I saw anything in that funeral scene which led me to feel that there was a military funeral with full honors going on. So I'm going to have to go with nit-pick.

2) Yes, a new shirt, and bra too by the looks of it (or at least one that's been through a wash cycle).

Just caues they don't have modern washers does not mean they can'twash their clothes..
Not really my point that they couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't/can't wash their clothes.
Spoiler:
From the looks of things, Charlie wasn't in a sitting around kind of mood, and she didn't go out on patrol until after the funeral, so are you suggesting she dealt with her brother's death, by going on a cleaning spree?
It just seems odd to me that Charlie would continue to wear something that had been soaked in her brother's blood, even if she had washed it out. The writers/director went to the effort of showing Charlie trying one last act of protecting/saving/comforting/sheltering her brother by having her take off her coat and draping it over his body. She can be seen trying to use it to staunch the flow of blood. If the writers wanted her to wear that coat after, as some kind of memorial to her brother, then they probably should have had a quick line or two added to the script:
Other character - "Say Charlie, why are you wearing that jacket which was soaked in your brother's blood? Here, I got this nice new one that's just your size. Even looks the same as the one you've got on."
Charlie - "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm wearing this until I kill Monroe. It's a way for Danny to still be part of the fight."
And with those few simple lines there's another little bit of back-story added to the character. As it is, it looks like a wasted opportunity for a bit of character development, because they have a particular look for Charlie which they want to keep. One might say, it's a case of style over substance.
It will be interesting to see if Charlie is still wearing that same jacket next season.
