Infuriated beyond words when I saw this.

Actions have consequences. In this case, a sick kid (which, statistically speaking, probably wasn't all that sick). Our country is running out of money fast as can be, and we have to divert an entire frigate (which, BTW, don't have physicians!) to rescue them?? Hope they get a fat bill from Uncle Sam.

CPS needs to be called when they get back to California.

I'm all for family trips, and that seems like a really cool one, but wait til the kid isn't going to fall overboard every time you turn your back.
