(6,831 posts)Captain Brett Crozier DID NOT go outside the chain of command.
The DoD/Pentagon/NAVY claimed they were "blindsided" by this. BULLSHIT. They have known for over a week now that Capt. Crozier was begging for help for his sick Sailors. When NOT ONE GODDAM THING was done to help him, he send the letter you all now see. It was leaked to the media. But NOT by Crozier.
His actions are the actions every CO should take when his Sailors are at risk. He stared down the High and Mighty and got what he wanted for his Sailors. Did he know the shit would hit the fan ? Of course he did. You don't make it to O-6 without understanding the political lay of the land. Hell, that's how you GET to O-6.
And he DID get what he wanted. The NAVY has transfered about 1000 hands to medical facilities. That is 25% of his entire ship's compliment. If 25% of your co-workers or staff were sick, you'd move Heaven and Earth to get them the help they DESERVED and EARNED.
It is obvious to me that the trumpie clusterfuck has NO FUCKING IDEA of what "Leave no man behind" means. And that is disgraceful and outrageous.
To Captain Brett Crozier ----- BRAVO ZULU !!!
I never thought I could ever hate any man as much as I hate this assfuck in the WH.
