I think its a damn shame when the Navy Secretary cant call out a stupid move without “ offending” the crew of a ship that was endangered by that stupid move
Reminds me of the press campaign that got Patton fired for glove slapping a blubbering GI in a field hospital
Agree. It appears uniformed navy leadership is in much bigger trouble than civilian leadership. Who authorized that port call in Vietnam? Clearly, some officers above Crozier need to be “retired.” That won’t be happening, of course.
State Department arranged the port call. The Captain had virtually no input.
