        The president of USA, the most powerful man in the world took time from his busy schedule to call the wife of a fallen soldier isn't great??

        He's been at a Trump golf course 1 out of every 4 days since he took office. Looks like he has some wiggle room in that busy schedule.

        It's not a hardship for him to "take time from his busy schedule" of golf, tweeting, and fits of pique.

        If I was the president, I would stop the calls. Know why because no matter what he says or does the ungrateful will always be ingrate.

        What's even more of a tragedy is his wife not knowing whose body was in that casket as they denied showing her any part of his body.

        The military didn't show her bc he was severly disfigured. It happens a lot. He was identified by DNA by military. Common SOP.

        I read that. So why not give her the DNA results to ease her sorrows. She will go thru life never knowing. 2 Johnsons were killed.

        She will be given the autopsy & DNA match. Unfortunately the military like Fed Gov works at a snails pace. Those will be hard 4 her to read.

        Several elements of this account are puzzling. First was it a "training msn," or an effort to take out #3 target in Niger?

        If the latter, why drive to ops area when French helos available for insertion/extraction? Also, why no UAV support-key part of these msns

        UAVs--via DCGS--can communicate directly w/ground elements, help ID target--and potential threats. Prevented numerous attacks in GWOT

        Likewise, failure to coordinate air support is troubling. French jets couldn't drop b/c couldn't talk to friendlier on the ground
