Seems like the Captain just got caught up in all the bad press and crazy numbers flying around about deaths after Monday and due to his situation being far away from home on an aircraft carrier felt isolated and had some kind of anxiety attack or nervous breaksown about his situation and shot off a not well thought out email.

I read the letter and seems a bit panicked. I think he had the world on his shoulders and broke down.

Not a good trait of you run a carrier because what would happen at war, but it seems like a massive error in judgment on his part and probably due to pressure of it all.

skippers don't have nervous breakdowns. if they do they are trained on the exact measures to remedy the anxiety w/o even thinking. there are ways of communicating for immediate relief. his letter seems like someone made it political, this is wrong in so many ways.

If you have questions about his ability to command a 14 billion dollar aircraft carrier and the five thousand people on board, then that's a lack of confidence in his ability command and he should be removed from his post.

Some things you just can't play around with including a position like his.

Its starting to sound a lot more like he wanted to draw attention to himself by leaking this to the press.
