Military chain of command rules are essential in conducting operations of any kind. This is why he was fired, though I think relieved is a more proper word. (And you do not publicize to the world that one of your aircraft carriers, one of your most influential weapons, is out of commission... Period.)

Agreed. You also don't publically demean the former CO to the entire crew like he did. Both good shoots.

I 'm not sure what to think of Modly. Not the type of jam you expect to find an Annapolis grad in. He also got muddled up in the court martial of the Navy SEAL where the President made an executive decision. Was considered a civilian boss by veteran navy officials. This appears to be a sacrificial lamb laid down for the Dems....

thats a BS reason pushed by the the Navy every family member knew what was going on and they were in port and its never been out of commission

If the Capt hadn't made his choice to get his men treatment the ship not being combat effective would have happened ..

I will respectfully disagree. Not even going to begin to go through your statements, Wayne.
