WATCH: A Fort Bragg soldier disappears, and Russians with throwing-shovels — The Briefing, 7.24.20

Questions are raised in the case of a Fort Bragg soldier whose body was found in late May after he disappeared on a camping trip, and the 911 call that reported him missing contains some inconsistencies. Problems with on-base child care options are raised after an infant dies, and this year’s Marine Corps Marathon gets canceled.

Plus, what is the Navy’s advice from the 1960s about how to date women? Kind of cringe-y is what. And Russians training with underwater tanks, throwing knives and THROWING SHOVELS is worth a look.

All that and more on The Briefing for the week of 7.24.20.
