It now seems that those emails Crozier leaked to the press?
Didn't happen.
"When he fired Crozier, Modly publicly justified the move by saying the letter was sent to “20 or 30” people, something Modly called “just not acceptable.”
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."
I’ve always believed Modly (or other Naval bigwig) leaked that email to the press.
This confirms it to me. First Modly lost his job. And now Crozier is maybe getting reinstated?

Retain on active duty - yes. Reinstate command - WTF???
Now how about reinstating the commander who tried to rescue the Benghazi folks?
Linkee no linkee
Ridiculous.
Gonna need to get more spanners to torque all the jaws that are gonna be torqued!!!
Interesting. To be honest, the brass is not making a good impression
The military brass will do it if for no other reason than to make the Administration look bad.
I haven't seen any reports regarding who the leaker was...it may have been the Captain or someone else.
As an engineering officer during my time in the Navy, we used the CasRep (sp?) reporting system for material problems. I am sure there must have been a similar classified system for the type of problem he wanted to report. He should have used that and followed the chain of command.
One HAS to wonder just how tone deaf the Navy brass is!
Reinstating a Commanding Officer who INTENTIONALLY bypassed the Chain of Command and INTENTIONALLY leaked his letter to the press not only should NOT be reinstated, but forcibly retired!
Acting SECNAV Modly did the right and proper thing by firing Captain Crozier. He screwed up BIGLY by flying to TR and trashing Crozierm and was rightfully fired.
