And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
WTF, I knew the Navy was full of fags, but holy hell. While once I had an LT I would have followed off a roof, mostly a CO of a unit that big is supposed to be so far above it all you dont even know what he looks like. This suggests he was all buddy buddy with everybody on that boat. Probably would've surrendered the whole thing at the first threat of an exocet missle to his precious crew.
There goes a man that willingly put his career on the line for the sake of his crew. And they know it. Probably the first time most of the crew ever saw him in the flesh.
Hey, the Sec. could've used a different tact....it's clear the Captain broke the chain of command, maybe even showed a bit of cowardice, and you cannot be in command and crumble at the first sign of diversity....I personally would've left this matter to the 4 admirals between the Sec. and the Captain....relieved of command?....I don't know, his past record should've been a consideration....nobody died,and the ship was never put in danger....tough call, but the Sec. looked like he had an axe to grind....
He made a big mistake. The email 1) went across NIPR and not a secured network. This was SIPR information. The condition and operability of and ship, whether floating or airborne, is FOUO information (Even your most basic troop knows this), 2) He included "friends", those outside of the "Need to Know", (which is exactly how this ended up public), 3) Had his leadership not acted in a manner that was acceptable to him he could have gone to the IG but he did not, 4) If the IG did not respond he could have still gone to Sec of Defense or even his congressional representatives, 5) If this was an example of how he would respond confronted with sick sailors how do you think he would have responded to an enemy attack? As Commander of a Navy Strike Group is not JUST responsible for the sailors on the boat he is sitting but almost 8,000 sailors and Marines on a Cruiser and least two Destroyers, 70-80 aircraft, subs, logistics and supply ships. Had every sailor on board that Carrier gotten sick, according to the average age of the sailors (+- 25) and the public death rate of those infected with coronavirus (0.2%) the USS Theodore Roosevelt would have lost 6 sailors in TOTAL. The SOB needed to be fired.
The mission. He was not training off San Diego or Virginia but on station off China when he jumped the chain of command and went public.
As a crewman having the CO looking out for me that is a good thing, as a citizen I'd like to think the CO of our nuclear powered aircraft carrier off the coast of China had better sense than that.
One less hack from Obama's Navy. I am sure he will get a command of a street sweeper in Chicago. Makes me worried about what else Obama has left in the fleet.

Looking out for his crew is laudable, doing so publicly and in a way so as to broadcast weakness to the rest of the planet? Maybe not so much.

A Opsec violation of this magnitude requires a court marshal.
