How old were these Naval crewmen? Late teens to late 20's for vast majority?. Did these crewmen have underlying health conditions making China virus deadly? No because you do not remain in the military with any serious health problems, you are given a medical discharge. Was there ANY risk here? Sure but military people understand the MISSION COMES FIRST;
"The navy doesn't assign just anybody to command a Nimitz-Class nuclear carrier - this Captain was one of the best they had." Apparently not. By copying 30 others on his communication to higher command he violated his chain of command. What he should have done if he disagreed so strongly is resign his commission and go public..
He got exactly what he deserved and he's lucky he isn't facing a General Court Martial.
My guess is "none": you have a disease that spreads like wildfire in a closed environment, you have 7,000 souls that you are responsible for and you're in favor of "well, they're young and should survive"?
Thank heaven you were never put in any position of military responsibility.
By the way, I have been a member of three General Court Martial boards and have convened 3 Summary and one Special Court Martial - and brought charges that resulted in 24 courts martial in my military career - what the heck do you know about these things?
