Families can call 011-81-46-816-1728 (international) or 243-1728 (DSN on base).

I’m a Navy brat myself and appreciate your concern.

“Tonight’s pool report: Trump responded to questions about today’s collision of the USS John S. McCain: “’That’s too bad,’ he said.” “

He’s gonna catch it for that remark. Though I suspect he said more.

The pool reporter who asked the question:

"Steve Herman‏Verified account @W7VOA · 50m50 minutes ago
Unclear whether @POTUS had been informed of missing and injured sailors when he responded. Media wasn't aware of that info at the time. "

So Trump wasn't aware of seriousness.

Does this have anything to do with affirmative-action, equal -opportunity, LBBTQ political correct BS (promotions)? I bet it does. Many have said that good people will die because of PC.

Need to learn how to distinguish Malacca from Morocco.

This "a" is not an "o"
This "r" is not an "l"

It is tricky. BTW, the straits separating Morocco from Spain are the Straits of Gibraltar. The Straits of Malacca are famous for piracy, Muslims from Indonesia attacking shipping out of Singapore.
