Get him out if he did.
I’m sure Reuters was given the skinny; they are very trustworthy.

In the military, you are guilty until you prove you are not...............
Better ways to have informed his command?
He should be court marshaled and then sent to the brig. Leaking out this kind of info to our enemies is a serious breach of security.
Follow the chain of command, you’re less likely to get your head bitten off when it’s bad news. Maybe that’s what happened.
And I was reading that in March he let the crew go ashore in Vietnam on Liberty call. It’s likely he caused the whole problem.
But one thing striking absent from his letter was readiness. He prattled on and on about getting the crew off his ship and staffing with a 10% skeleton crew. But he did not ask for healthy replacement sailors be immediately sent out to keep the ship in readiness.
His main concern was for the boys and girls...not moving heaven and earth to keep the ship ready for action.
Yeah you don’t want to do that.
Well,there goes his star. I assume that the pension of an O-6 with 25 years in is pretty good.
CO screwed up, should have gone through proper channels vs leak a letter to the MSM
Loose lips sink ship Cptn
At a minimum he allowed someone in his command to leak it and did not manage his command appropriately.
At max he also knowingly released claassified operational security information.
If he leaked it he needs court-martialed.
Hey, Captain Brett Crozier, it’s just the flu, Bro! /sarc
There is absolutely no way of knowing whether this is an ObamaCaptain disgracing himself and the US Navy, or an honest commander following all the rules who unfortunately became the victim of some pissant traitor/leaker. We may never know. All we know is that he/she/it (you never know in today’s military) was held accountable, and that the US Navy and US Military will be just fine and is feared by every enemy or potential enemy of the USA.
Good!
Don’t let the screen door hit ya, jackass.
What a dumb ass
I feel like he needed some sort of reprimand for letting it get to where it did, although some here have said it is hard to stop this kind of thing.
Look at his service record ... hopscotch ... then upward movement during Bobo ... but still , how do you get that ship without a clear command pathway?
It’s pathetic that we’ve reached the point where we have one of our aircraft carrier commanders feeling the call to virtue signal with his leaking to the media. Relieve him from command ASAP!
