Is Captain Morris Tolliver a Red Shirt?

When the president actually asks morris his wife's name and the kid's name, i thought, he's clearly going to die really yes. I don't know that i thought o the first time i saw it. We become attached to morris's relationship with bartlett, and soa. When another as an episode one, we have thea cubans on their rafts off camera. Now this hideous thing is going to happen in the military transport that morris is on. And it's going to happen off camera, but it's really going to land for us emotionally when leo tells the president, mister president, morris tolliver is dead.
