But that’s only if there was a need for the SecNav’s direct involvement. Otherwise, leave the matter to the chain-of-command.

SECNAV only became involved because Crozier’s uniformed chain of command found his erratic behavior acceptable. That, for me, is the most damning thing about this episode. The Deep State rot is wide and deep in the military.

This. Fifty years ago when I was USAF, it didn't take me long to learn that the FLP's (F##king Lifer Pukes) were concerned only about two things - their retirement and their bennies (benefits). That the uniformed admirals between Crozier and the SecNavy couldn't bring themselves to act is damning.
