In this speech, he said the sailers back home felt demoralized by what the CO did because they were currently working on helping the crew. So, things were being worked on. Just obviously not as fast as the CO woukd have liked or needed.
you don’t rise to command a nimitz class carrier without having your sh*t pretty well together — even with 8 years of ray mabus lousing things up.
Wow, many here are quick to jump on the CO before stopping to think this through or knowing the facts.
When the first few sailors got sick and tested positive, the CO wanted to get them off the ship before it spread. He was ordered to keep them on board by his chain of command, and a few infected sailors quickly became 93.
Now that aircraft carrier, one of two tasked with defending us from China, is out of the fight, because of the Navy brass not the CO.
The other carrier tasked with defending us from China also has an outbreak and will soon be out of the fight too.
China took out both carriers in the pacific, with help from the Navy brass who ordered infected sailors to be held onboard, without firing a shot.
Now, China can do what it wants in the entire pacific ocean.
And y’all wanna string the CO up.
Whose side yall on? Y’all do know we are at war, right?
Fox Business just reported that the former captain has tested positive for the virus.
His crew was a very happy crew.
To be clear here. The co purposely allowed that email to be leaked to the press, whether intentional or not. The crew of an aircraft carrier (and the entire armed forces for that matter) are in far better health than anywhere in the world. So his panic was just that - panic. An aircraft carrier has a multitude of weapon systems one of which is probably nuclear in nature (neither confirmed nor denied), I certainly do not want anyone who panics to be in charge of said weapon systems. The co was wrong, he panicked and got relieved per the requirments of the service secretary. It was his fault and nobody else bears any blame.
Absolutely!

Chicoms leaked this I guarantee it..
AND YOU KNOW THIS HOW???????????

“He went through channels and heged his bet by going through the press too.”
No he didn’t. His immediate superior was actually on the ship, and he didn’t go through him or to him, at least not officially, not on the record.
Right on. Tell it like it is!
His immediate superior was actually on the ship,
The skipper didn’t talk to the Admiral on the same ship. He deserved to be canned. The generals I knew would probably have choked the shit out of any colonel who did that.
“They loved this guy because he was an incompetent boob who let them do what they want?”
It was a small percentage of the total crew. Maybe it just as simple as they were the Democrat portion of the crew. Politics has invaded everything else.
“Somebody is lying.
The answer to that question will tell you exactly who.”
.... the SecNav released a lengthy letter going into great detail as to the sequence of events and the reasons that led to the firing. No need need to speculate.
A good place to start looking for those who need to be fired and/or relieved of duty is to see who was appointed or promoted by Obama.
It would not shock me if, like Vindman, Crozier considered himself part of “The Resistance”.
And like Vindman this episode will not hurt Crozier’s career at all.
“you don’t rise to command a nimitz class carrier without having your sh*t pretty well together....”
.....apparently this is no longer true. And then of course, the good Captain may be suffering from an acute case of TDS.
