Making its own thread because it's too much and happening all right now.
Pacific fleet Captain gets removed. There's he said she said over a memo that got written and CC to like 30 people and then to the news. Captain gets removed. That in its own right is not that big of a deal.
But then it starts coming out that Pentagon officials overrode Navy officials who didn't want to remove the guy right now because it disrupts operations in the Pacific. Navy officials wanted to remove him later on.
There's implication that the White House pressured the firing but it seems more like the secretary of the Navy preempted that by firing him because he was worried the White House would weigh in and wanted to avoid that.
So people are back and forth at whether the captain should be removed. But that really isn't the story. there's a change.org petition and there's going to be a senator investigation and there's already a normal Navy investigation.
Then this crazy stuff happens at 3:00 a.m. this morning.
after firing the captain the Secretary of the Navy sends addess over the intercom to the sailors who felt like the captain got screwed.
Sure enough New York times has confirmed it and audio has now leaked...

It's so poorly written that it seems like it might be fake. But the account that leaked it was not a fake so people are thinking it's real....Holy shit if this is real...

Supposedly this is modlys speech on the 1mc or teddy Roosevelt crew.
That's so poorly written I assume its a cutie pie but it was uploaded by someone that was in the Navy (doxxed) and the online Navy forums are in whispers about a speech that occurred.
So laugh and let's see if the audio leaks.

This is completely unprofessional by the Secretary of the Navy. This will throw the entire Navy chain of command into drama which is exactly what you didn't want out of all of this. This divides the enlisted versus the chain against each other. Completely the opposite of removing the captain to reinforce the chain of command.Holy shit.
Confirmed
