Acting Navy secretary blasts ousted aircraft carrier captain as 'stupid' in address to ship's...

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

Acting Secretary Modly is just as wrong as Captain Crozier. This is not a domestic dispute on LIVE PD. It is a very public discussion about the state of readiness of a national asset in theater with a global power (China) that has been flexing its muscle and strengthening its position in the western Pacific for several years.

I hope Acting Secretary Modly is shown the door with the same speed as Captain Crozier.

He served. Naval academy grad just like the captain. Both were helicopter pilots as well. . .perhaps onboard a ship. Maybe they know each other. Don't know the specifics of what he said other than saying "stupid." Maybe he meant the unclassified email <a specific action> as opposed to his overall behavior Again, it was on the shipboard PA. At least they can't say he hasn't "been there/done that." Sounds as if he has.

POTUS, on the other hand?
