Wow. I have no idea if this acting Navy secretary has ever served, but what a jerk. Oh wait! I forgot! He’s telling it like it is, just like POTUS.

Modly needs to resign or be fired. Those remarks are completely inappropriate, and are sure to fan the fire when directed at the crew of the ship that just cheered their outgoing skipper. In their view Crozier was a hero for standing up for them.

Initially, my reaction is totally inappropriate verbalization to the ship's complement . The acting Sec Nav is an academy grad. Spent seven years in the Navy probably/possibly on a ship. I would really like to hear the specific words before I pass judgment. Stupid could have applied to the email he sent. It was stupid. I need to hear all that was said. Maybe these two were academy classmates? Both were Navy helicopter pilots? Hmmm. Who knows.

I believe he served 7 years in the navy which does not qualify him to be a high ranking officer with deep vision.
I can understand perhaps he wants to show he is the boss but personally talking to the USS Roosevelt crew to belittle the fired skipper seems to be a personal grudge. The situation, the verbal attacks, and awkwardness showed the country that the navy leadership does not 100% care about the sailors well being, shows a vindictiveness against a skipper who was trying to protect his crew. The navy very much accomplished to convey to the nation that it has a leadership problem. It appears that common sense did not prevail. For those who say continue the mission, there is a cruise ship with 60% of the passengers infected. Is 3000 infected sailors acceptable?

That response from Modly was not unexpected. This story is just beginning.
