@Splinty I asked my cousin (ex-Navy) about the firing of that captain. I noticed you had blindly defended the Navy's response while my cousin has supported the captain.Here's what my cousin said:
I'm sure that was a last ditch effort to save his crew. He 100% had been pleading with his superiors and they did nothing. He did what he had to do. The same thing Teddy had to do in the Spanish American war and is now lauded for it while the Secretary of War Alger is known for incompetence.
Ugh, who cares about our hat.
I think the number of cases in NY and NJ prove just how disgusting those states are.
Easy targets. The density alone means those folks are some of the most vulnerable in the whole country.
Easy targets because of the lack of hygiene as well

@Splinty I also asked my cousin about whether or not the guy was fired or just demoted as I didn't understand the enlisted/commissioned difference. It sucks because the guy had a bright future. Hard to think he'd risk throwing that away unless he felt it was necessary:He technically was fired from his job as Captain of the Teddy (the usual next step after Commanding an aircraft carrier is an admiral)
the thing about the firing of the Cpt Brozier is that the Navy heard his concern and decided that the OPSEC was worth letting sailors get sick and/or die. He decided he knew better and jumped the chain of command.
He's been removed from command, which means his career in the Navy is sunk.

there's going to be a lot of homeless caught up in this. I read where Skid Row has cases now...that could be horrific.
That is going to be terrible.
Mumbai hold the worlds largest slum (~1 million) and they’ve found cases in that population now. That’s going to be a shit show as well.

Don't be a fucking moron, those places have higher population centers, and are cleaner than those white trash trailer park backwoods incest riddled hillbilly states in this disgusting morbidly obese diabetes filled country we live in.
I didn't. If he didn't notify his boss he was wrong. That was my position.
Navy states he didn't tell his immediate boss that he was escalating who was on the same ship. Boss finds out from the news paper. Didn't CC that boss on the email even.
Navy was apparently already responding with supplies and a plan and when he blew up the chain via public email with a bunch of others on it, the Navy's response then looks like he caused it. That breaks the chain and makes others believe that the way to get things done is to go big and public.
His move will be popular with the enlisted who feel he was advocating for them. But if those above pieces are true, then its a huge no no and he has to be removed. You can't leave him in that job afterwards. He then advocated but created the appearance that no one was moving until he did what he did.That's not clear to me at this time.
If this guy wanted to get traction while maintaining his lane, he would have just CC'd the entire chain including his boss all the way up and the Office of the inspector general for an IG complaint. He would have pissed a lot of people off I'm sure, but he wouldn't need to be removed.

Lol @ you moving the goalposts after I call you out on your bullshit.
Splinty: The Navy captain was wrong!!!!!

Splinty:

Splinty:
Nothing's changed...I've got the documents...days ago...
You show me that he first went up his chain of command with no response, I will change my mind. To date, that's the official position and facts so far. With that as the background, you have to remove him if you're his boss.
As above...

My REAL dad was an ER doc and an orthopaedic surgeon then decided to live that anesthesia life. RIP
you could never measure up internet dad!
it’s why I resent u so
Ship captains are fired for less all the time. There is essentially a zero tolerance policy for almost any incident, be it major or minor. That's just how the Navy rolls. The Captain knew that.
