23. It's a Trumpian move

Whenever they screw up, they don't admit it and show contrition. Rather, they double down on it with force to trick people into believing that the error wasn't an error. They over compensate in the other direction. It's pure PsyOps.

Also, the statement that Crozier "...was too naive or too stupid to be a commanding officer of a ship like this..." is a lie and hyperbolic bullshit beyond compare. Do you have any idea of the vetting and evaluation that goes into promoting a Naval officer the commander of an aircraft carrier in the first place? The odds of a naive or stupid person getting a command like this is zero.

I have nothing but pure, undiluted hatred for Trump, the people who serve him and most of the people who voted for him.
