You serius lee gonna believe what a Fox new “reporter” tells you happened?
I know why sailors cheer and applaud when the old man gets piped ashore for being an idiot.

YES!!!!
I seem to remember the ‘Old Man’ wasn’t there to be liked, he was there to be RESPECTED and ‘feared’ (feared in the sense of you recognized his authority and the wrath he could bring down on you were you to ‘screw up’. Not sure how it is today but ‘way back when’, the CO was CO whether he was there or not, he was still ‘responsible’ for any screw ups his crew may have ventured into).
Bucher of the USS Pueblo sort of changed that ‘theory’ when he was to take the brunt of the Pueblos problems and it was ‘learned’ there were spaces on the ship he wasn’t allowed in and they were trying to ‘hang him’ because certain documents weren’t destroyed...
Cheering the departure of the ‘Old Man’ isn’t always a matter of ‘respect’.
The old “Everyone pleases everyone else, some by entering a room and some by leaving it” comes into effect.
