Yes.  According the esteemed  Congress woman, his wife burst into tears after the call.  She was on the way to meet her husbands casket.  Hmm, do we think the poor woman is probaby in shock and just might be given to breaking down, and just talking about her husband might have caused the tears?  Not everyone is eloquant in their ability to offer condolences.  But lets pick apart his words, rather than focusing on his intent.  There is no requirement for the President to call the families of the fallen - that is actually the duty of the SecDef.  I don't know, I would just be grateful for the call regardless of the words he used.  And Trump is right - her husband did know there was a chance he would not come back - every military person lives with this and their families do too.
