The White House sent letters to the families of the dead sailors

October 23 2017 32

Last Friday, the families of American sailors killed in August began receiving letters of condolence from US President Donald Trump, reports RIA News post editions of Atlantic.

Recall, the destroyer "John McCain" 21 August, faced a merchant ship near Singapore. Ten sailors died, five were injured.

Relatives of the victims began to receive letters of condolence only on October 20, that is, 2 months after the tragedy.

The publication reminds that the October 18 controversy broke out in the United States around Trump's conversation with the widow of a soldier David Johnson, who died in Niger. The president told the widow that her husband "knew what was going on." Part of the conversation was heard by congressman Frederick Wilson, to whom the words of the head of state seemed “inappropriate and insensitive,” since the widow had two children, and she was expecting a third.

According to the father of one of the sailors Timothy Ackles, prior to this letter he “had not received any news from the American president.”

Honestly, it seems to me that the letter is a reaction to the storm in the media around how such things were solved,

he said.

Two more American families confirmed the receipt of letters of condolences from October 20 from the White House.

    Do you think that he himself writes all this? To do this, he must have a SPECIAL department. But apparently here the ego is "substituted"

      Well, of course, he doesn’t write. In figs, in terms of the plan, it seems he didn’t even take an interest in the sent or not sent.

    Until the inquiry is completed, a decision on the fact is not made, no other actions are performed.
    A notification from the coroner (an analogue of our medical conclusion) was received by the families of the victims. "Letter from the President" involves shaneshki. And guilty shaneshki should not receive.

Maybe their mail works like that. It would be interesting to see not when they arrived, but when they were sent? And something, but among the Americans the procedure itself is already very well developed. Each of the families received their mourning "flag" in a timely manner ...

  You are simply confusing the funeral and ceremony from the US Navy with "personal" condolences from the president. Here it is worth asking a question from the White House Office.

  In this regard, I have a question - and do we, the family of each dead soldier, receive letters of condolence, if not from the President, then at least from the Minister of Defense? As far as I know, there is no such practice - this applies not only to those who died as a result of an emergency, as is the case with the Americans, but also in local conflicts, and so on. "undeclared wars." I know this not from the words of others ...
  So jokes and competition in wit about the USA are inappropriate here, we ourselves have nothing to brag about in this regard ... Tired, we see a mote in the eyes of others ....

      To pretend that nothing happened and just keep silent - this, of course, is more "humane" ... Well, in an extreme case, just say "she drowned" - and this phrase didn’t make any wounds?

        Our "Letter of the President of the Russian Federation" and "Letter of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation" is an award. Like the "Personal letter of Comrade Stalin."

    I did not understand, what are you talking about?
    There is a death certificate, with its own order of registration.
    There is a "letter to relatives" - it is written by a direct commander, only by hand. There is an order (I don’t remember the year-number) that legitimized the tradition of writing such letters. There are exceptions - when not written.
    There is a "Notice of death of a serviceman" - form.
    
    What document are you talking about?

Well, two months. And before it was less? And before it was? Unclear. And yes, he really knew what he was going on. This is of course cynical and non-diplomatic. But. Is Congresswoman Frederick an hour democrat?

Z.Y. I read it. So it is - a democrat. And Trump accuses her of lying. So it goes.

They probably wanted by e-mail, but again someone's hackers intervened and ruined the whole initiative. Not surprisingly, in the United States only two months later they remembered the parents of the dead sailors. Not until this, because The “war” with Trump and Russia is more important than any condolences.
