Navy issue, navy decision. Semper Fi.
They must be short on O6’s that can fly anything more that a golf cart.
This means to me that the Captain likely had his hand forced when he improperly emailed his complaints. If he is being recommended for reinstatement, it would seem to indicate that the issue was somewhere in his chain of command.
Adam Smith actually represents WA (not CA), the super-ghetto parts of King County... and is a piece of liberal shit.
I trust the Navy brass, but I wouldn’t give this Crozier guy command of anything but a shiny desk.
If he goes back to that same ship, the conflict may start anew. There was a certain officer on that ship that this captain has never gotten along with. Don’t put those two back together. They’ll be locking horns in no time. It will divide the crew. Give him a different ship to command.
Don’t take it Cap’n! There will always be those in the Pentagon who hold it against you.
Bad call. Crozier should have been fired and should remain fired. There is little if any room for poor judgement at that level and with the awesome firepower at his fingertips.
The guy that put our national security at risk by informing the world that we had a crippled war ship.
What would happen during a war when his ship was ordered to take a certain action and he disagreed with it.
Well, it doesn’t exactly take a genius to run into things.
Unreal. The Navy keeps flipping the finger to Trump. Backing down is beyond idiotic. He is an embarrassment to the Navy.
Asking in private is one thing. The CNO who let this out into the press is no better than that goober Crozier. His head should be on the chopping block next.
The red Chinese navy must be high-fiving over the condition of the USN.
Wow ,that was a turn around.
The Navy would be FAR better to move forward. Imagine the ramifications in the already weak fleet mindset if the idea gets out that if a crew doesn’t like a change in captains, they can stamp their feet, livestream on Facebook, and they get their way. A terrible precedent.
This won’t change until we have the next naval disasters like we did in early WWII. The pussies are firmly in charge.
I half expect them to put that grinning idiot Crozier back in charge.
Did they run out of captains? How about they gey attacked by another ship? Will this clown leak to the media that they are under atrack by another ship??
A new standard — the Social Media driven Navy.
Once fired, you could never trust an officer to follow the President’s command.
If Adam Smith is recommending Crozier’s reinstatement the guy shouldn’t be in command!!!
"But a copy of the letter obtained by The Washington Post last week showed Crozier sent it to the three admirals and copied it to seven captains."
If Captain Crozier can show he respected the chain of command and in no way tried to disclose the readiness of the Roosevelt, he is not at fault here.
WTF is this FAKE news! If this is truly real,the USN is more far gone than I thought. Isn’t 20% of the fleet non-deployable (SUNK) by Corona anyway?
