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.
Not true. We now know that Modly leaked the information to the press. Not Captain Crozier.
It makes sense. Not only did Modly and others up the chain of command screw up very badly regarding the Roosevelt condition: not only did they leak the emails to the press, but Modly also flew 2400 miles to personally insult the captain in front of the world. No wonder he got fired. Deservedly so.
Captain Crozier deserves exoneration. He deserves a full reinstatement.
