https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/magazine/modly-crozier-coronavirus.htmlIn a nice bit of irony, the seat warmer (acting secnav) flew to the USS Theodore Roosevelt to insult the Captain over his letter being released to the media, had his own speech and transcript leaked to the media.
Quote
In the speech, the acting Navy secretary said Crozier was "too naive, or too stupid, to be the commanding officer of a ship like this" if he thought the contents of his letter wouldn't become public.
In the audio recording, you can actually hear one of the sailors say "What the fuck?" after modly insulted their captain.
Trump claims he didn't have any part in the removal, yet modly told a colleague that trump wanted him fired. And his "speech' sounded just like trump. Attacks the media, attacks the democrats, attacks china. Accusing the captain of lying and calls the crew scared. Hmm..
Quote
"Adm. Michael M. Gilday, the chief of naval operations, privately urged against dismissal and argued that, per usual Navy procedures, an investigation into what went wrong on the Roosevelt should be allowed to play out. But the acting Navy secretary, Thomas B. Modly, overruled the Navy’s top admiral, saying Captain Crozier had cracked under pressure."
More hmmm...
And what does our dear leader have to say about the captain?
Quote
"I thought it was terrible, what he did, to write a letter. I mean, this isn't a class on literature," Trump said. "This is a captain of a massive ship that's nuclear powered. And he shouldn't be talking that way in a letter."
