8. As Acting Secretary of the Navy he's manifestly unqualified

to hold any position of leadership. I've never heard of any military leader stooping to take cheap potshots at another officer in front of the troops.

He trying to cover up the huge mistake that the Navy made in punishing the ship's captain for his efforts to save his troops under the extraordinary conditions of fighting the corona virus onboard his ship.

He did not leak the letter he wrote pleading for help. Assuming he addressed copies up the chain of command that points to someone at the top of the food chain that wanted to retaliate against this man for exposing a significant problem.

I point a finger directly at any of Trump's bootlicking appointees, such as this incompetent Thomas Modly who seems to be carrying out Trump's well known vendetta against whistleblowers.
