There are a lot of Government people that needs to be relieved of duty. Like most of them.
If Crozier didn’t go through proper channels first...how did the Navy release a statement on the ship before the letters which got to the press?
Somebody is lying.
The answer to that question will tell you exactly who.
Has Crozier been offered a job at CNN yet?
Looks like the CO has left behind a legacy on leaking. I wonder if this will be investigated?
That’s certainly an unexpected act. Why would a service secretary (who normally stay in the background publicly) fly halfway around the world during a pandemic outbreak to make a speech on a contaminated ship that is leaked to the press about not celebrating a former CO who was fired for leaking to the press? Something smells fishy, and it’s not just the bilge pumps.
“...“And I’m gonna tell you something, all of you, there is never a situation where you should consider the media a part of your chain of command,” Modly said. “Because the media has an agenda and the agenda that they have depends on which side of the political aisle they sit, and I’m sorry that’s the way the country is now, but it’s the truth. And so they use it to divide us and use it to embarrass the Navy. They use it to embarrass you.”
...
Wow.. this guy Modly is great... Got a brass pair on him, doesn’t he...
So great... some OTHER moron leaks to the media again
I am impressed that his speech was so direct and didn’t mince words.
They loved this guy because he was an incompetent boob who let them do what they want?
WHO PROMOTED HIM TO THAT POSITION?
All you have to do is look at the photo of this “Captain”.
He ain’t after Tennille.
Excellent speech. Thanks for the link.
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.
Chicoms leaked this I guarantee it..
Right on. Tell it like it is!
On March 24, USA Today reported that three, and then eventually eight crew members tested positive for the coronavirus. The U.S. Navy immediately acted to remove the members as soon as possible.
Once discovered, “several dozens” of crew members were tested as positive. The ship docked in Guam on March 27, where there was insufficient quarantine quarters available.
No crew members have required hospitalization, ICUs, ventilators.
The CO’s letter accomplished nothing other than to point out to the news media that the Chinese had taken out one of our carriers.
Well that should fire them up. </sarcasm>
Meanwhile we are not only down a carrier, by the skipper made damn well sure the entire world knows it. Especially our enemies.
