The captain blundered bigly.
I was never in the military but even I am aware of the concept of OPSEC.
We need more men like him.
Any of these is a sin for which immediate relief can be expected. All at the same time??? Wow!
But he violated security and could have put his crew and their vessel is harms way.
His heart was in the right place, but his job was to lead with his head, not his heart.
And aided the enemy. Even now the military is very secretive about the number of CV-19 cases because they do not want to give the enemy any negative data about our operational capabilities. This asshole just told the enemy that an aircraft carrier is now down and out of service.
What a f*cking idiot, traitor, coward. Seems the crew licked him but that will not hold in time of crisis. Thank God it is not a shooting war and this guy in command.
all young healthy people with mild cases. should have stayed at sea until they were all cleared.
Far more than that. He commanded a vital capital ship, a ship about whose whereabouts and condition the enemy, the Chi Coms, should know as little about as possible. Indeed, when Italian frogmen severely damaged a group of British capital ships in Alexandria Egypt, in 1940 or 1941, Churchill ordered that they were to continue routine operations as though nothing had happened. That kept the Axis Powers guessing. OTOH this damn, traitorous fool gave the Chi Coms a vital weapons damage report on what their deliberately disseminated Wuhan Virus had done, i.e., cripple a vital US capital ship. He really ought to be prosecuted for giving aid and comfort to the enemy Chi Coms, i.e., treason, and shot by a firing squad on his quarter deck if found guilty, the same punishment the
British meted out to Admiral Byng in the eighteenth century.
