Sailors warned against ‘posting negative comments’ after Trump’s acting Navy secretary was trashed online
Published 2 mins ago on April 6, 2020By Matthew Chapman

On Monday, Military Times reporter Geoff Ziezulewicz obtained a message sent by PR officials to Navy officers on the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, instructing them to have sailors take down social media recordings of Navy Secretary Thomas Modly attacking relieved Capt. Brett Crozier as “stupid.”

The message warned “posting negative comments” that put “senior leaders” in a bad light is counterproductive, and urges everyone to stay out of the “negative media spotlight.”

More at link. 🤬🤬🤬

1. I wonder how many will open new social media accounts

not in their own names to post their feelings about this scum. I know I would.

[SheltieLover]

2. I would think they would!

But better turn location off, if they are on that ship! 🤬

[musette_sf]

3. too late

we've already heard it

[dawg day]

4. Hmm... maybe they should have told Modly not to rant and rave

and be recorded. He's the one who brings disrepute to the navy.

[SheltieLover]

6. Exactly!

[BigmanPigman]

5. Meanwhile, Modly tested positive for the virus.

Karma is fast!

*I just heard this on CNN

[SheltieLover]

7. Seriously!

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. Has he really?

[BigmanPigman]

9. I just heard Don Lemon say it on CNN.

[SheltieLover]

15. Instant Karma!

I couldn't find story online so I thought you were joking!

I hope he recovers & realizes the error of his ways...after hallucinating about all the dead Americans at dump's hands! 🤬

[crickets]

19. Damn. It's loose in the brass. That's bad.

eta - This is everywhere. What the hell was Modly thinking flying off to Guam? How many more men did he expose?

People, find a spot and stay there.

[cwydro]

35. No, he didn't.

[Brother Buzz]

14. Captain Crozier tested positive for coronavirus ... Modly, too?

[onenote]

17. I think this is inaccurate information.

If Don Lemon had reported that, it would be all over the Internet. I think someone misheard or misunderstood something.

[SheltieLover]

20. I still can't find anything on this

[sarisataka]

16. That is

Convenient.

If true

[tenderfoot]

23. Just googled that - couldn't find beaux

eom

[onenote]

27. You should delete your post. If Modly had tested positive it would have been widely reported by now

Either Lemon was mistaken or you misheard what he said, but you should not leave your post up.

10. Revisionist history... "take down social media recordings"

Revisionist history... "take down social media recordings"

[ck4829]

25. Indeed

[marble falls]

11. Boy did they ever make a big mistake. Swabbies live for a challange ...

When I was in boot camp we were told a Navy sailor was a creature that put alone and naked into a lightless round room with only a ball bearing would find a way to trade it, break it or lose it.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. You said it !!

[superpatriotman]

12. I'll be happy to post for them:

Fuck Moldy.

Fuck all ‘acting’ unqualified twitler phonies.

[Pobeka]

21. It just gets worse and worse.

Mobly's first message to the sailors. Then his apology, which wasn't really an apology. Then this from the PR officials threatening sailors. What next?

[niyad]

22. Dear Navy brass, in the interests of bringing you into the 21st century, I, who am not a techie,

would like to point out a minor fact or two. You seem to have the same problem as so many republican politicians do. You seem not to understand that once something has been said, or tweeted, or printed, or filmed, it is there forever. SOMEBODY has a screen shot, a copy, a record..

You can bully and threaten those sailors, and al the others in the fleet, but you cannot hide the truth. Please, try to acquaint yourself with modern technology. Oh, and stop appointing idiots like mouldy to positions of authority.

Helpfully submitted

[ck4829]

24. Unbottled the genie

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Make That Water Run Uphill!

Right now! That's an order!
Yeah, that'll work!

[C_U_L8R]

26. How'd that work out?

What idiots. They poured fuel on themselves.

[SheltieLover]

28. Yup!

They are so arrogant & blatent about hiding covid & their grifting is on full display for anyone with a modicum of discernment to see!

It boggles my mind, however, that a Navy cabinet officer (sort of) can badmouth the captain of a capital ship. Even in the modern Navy that can't always steer that well or slips on maintenance, they don't usually give aircraft carriers to idiots. And if they do, nobody, NOBODY up the line badmouths that officer in front of his troops/sailors. And a civilian defense undersecretary who once wore the uniform should damn well know that.

Busting your captain and then calling him an idiot in front of the sailors who respect him is one hell of a way to blow morale all to hell.
-----------------------

Discipline in private; praise in public.

Criticizing the commander of a unit in front of the people he led is absolutely wrong, and this asshole deserves every bit of the hatred he claims to be on the receiving end of.

Appalling conduct, especially from a graduate of the the US Naval Academy.

[SheltieLover]

30. Yes! Absolutely!

But the standards you cite are those of true patriots, not Putins puppets who are quite obviously doing everything they can to completely destroy our country, so these traitors have a different agenda & it shows, more & more everyday! 🤬

[MyOwnPeace]

34. WELL SAID!!!!

And yet our "leaders" continue to walk through the dark tunnel without any light and blame their mistakes on others.

[empedocles]

31. My guess is that trump was behind all this from the beginning.

'Acting' uses trump word 'stupid'. 'Acting' covers for trump. 'Acting' takes the fall. 'WH' has PR put out prohibition against further negative comments. Word gets out anyway [the good news]. trump has cover [voters getting wise to trump's 'ways']. [Works out well overall I guess].

32. Yup

Received text from veteran friend yesterday,

It will be ok because trump says ge's going to get involved [Re: Captain's firing & dissing by moldy.] 😳🤯
