Oh please: he saved his 7,000 crewmen from being closed in a big steel box with a single ventilation system while the higher-ups dithered.

That's why his crew is cheering him.

Tough Cookies. Chain of Command is Chain of Command, PERIOD. And if it's true he leaked it to the media, he should be Court-martialed and sent to the Brig.

I have and I certainly would not have done what this guy did. He may have been loved but that does not mean you are good leader.
