Why is the Def Sec and the Navy Sec scrambling around - covering their asses - and throwing dirt on that Captain?
There’s something rotten (as usual) in the Pentagon. I think THEY effed up and left that crew to suck it regarding COVID 19.
Was the “leak” from the Navy Secretary himself?
I don’t believe SecDef and SecNav are covering their asses; rather, they are restoring order to the crew of a capital ship that was thrown into disarray by the poor judgment and misconduct of its captain. Crozier did a lot of damage by going outside the chain of command, giving his crew the impression that Navy leadership is against them. Now the Navy must prevent a “soft mutiny” by thousands of young products of our society that are presently suffering from the “feels” and need reminding that they are sailors.
“I think THEY effed up and left that crew to suck it regarding COVID 19.”
So far, 150 cases amongst a crew of 4,800.
That crew should be back underway on their ship. Any more positives can be medevac’d.
It’s just as likely that crew was cheering the fact their Captain was relieved of his command.
