A Navy official said Rasch failed to provide effective leadership, leading to a lack of oversight, complacency and failure to maintain standards in the unit.
I think that line fits Obama just as well, if not better.

...who was the executive officer of the squadron... How does an executive officer become the commanding officer?
Is this the regime saying he wasn't fag enough to not be sacrificed?

This was humiliating. In this case, I agree with the relief of command.
I also know that $#!t flows downhill and many above the commander should be long gone. That includes some civilians in the Navy Department and the national command authorities.

The XO who happens to be a Commander, isn’t the Commanding Officer of the unit. They fired the wrong man. The XO should now become the CO.

This is how Obama and political correctness will get soldiers killed.
What were his ROE’s? What would the political hacks in the Pentagon or the White House had done if Cmdr Rasch instead opened fire and sunk the Iranian ships? Obama would be pissing himself with anger at the Navy. I believe the sailors were in a no-win situation caused by their leaders.

They fired the EXECUTIVE Officer, but not the commanding officer?
Not Obola’s admiral in charge of the area?
Not the squadron (next higher) commanding officer?

You can’t fire anyone in the military but when you do a search o Cmdr. Eric Rasch every damn article says fired.

Did he draw the short straw in the lottery to pick Obama’s scapegoat?
In the Navy that I was in, the Commanding Officer, is ALWAYS responsible, not the XO.
