Out of a cannon?
Let’s all panic now.
His chances of making admiral just went to zero. Career over.
Rightfully so.
If only Barr would fire the fey Wray.
Any information he made available publicly about the health of any sailor on that ship should land that guy in the brig for 20+. Peeling potatos, or onions, or whatever sailors eat.
>> “I did not come to this decision lightly.”
Glad that was clarified.
Disgusting.
This is what happens when the military is turned into a social experement.
Good riddance. Next! Next! Next!
USN Vet. Cuban Missile Crisis. Amphibious Group 4 - Mine Division 43.
If he’d run it up the chain of command and nothing happened, then he did the right thing. But, technically it was against military law. I get it.
Considering that it appears that he leaked his “memo” to the press, and the Navy was already weighing his suggestions, it seems he was engaging in politics in uniform...a no no last I heard.
Wonder if he was one of the “proud Hillary voters” in the military?
Its amazing how easy it is to neutralize America’s most expensive single weapon system.
It seems simple virus (which has limited impact on young, healthy people, like sailors) and a pussy captain are all it takes.
It was the leak of the memo, not the memo itself, that got Crozier fired. I’ve seen no evidence Crozier actually leaked it himself, although he may have used an insecure email to send it.
I have a close relative on the Roosevelt. (We exchange e-mails more than once per day...maybe because I’m ex-Navy (Carriers myself)
The crew’s opinion seems to be that he got shafted. The CO was a highly regarded commander
I have yet to see evidence that CPT Crozier is the ‘leaker’.
so..
How many “fingerprints” are on the comm?
What was the level of classification on it?
Who has he pi$t off on the way to the Captain’s chair?
Quo Bono?
Was chain of command up the ladder his only option? Seems like he would be a hero if he had taken action on-ship to save lives.
The larger story is that ALL of our “Opponents”, for lack of a more accurate, politically incorrect term, know that one of our largest military arrows is laid up in port...
Just when it is most important to be sailing around that part of the ocean, our presence is elsewhere.
By recently making a port call in Viet Nam, and conducting ops in the Philippine Sea area, the Roosevelt deterred China from getting overly frisky in the South China Sea and maybe even held Lil Kim down a bit.
1. OPSEC
2. The Commander is responsible for everything the unit does, or fails to do.
That’s why they get paid the big bucks. Sorry, you lose CPT.
Appearances on CNN and MSNBC are next for him
Hey Don, that ahole who is acting Sec of the Navy needs reassigned to Anartica.
