He was roundly cheered and supported as he left the ship. Would be interested in the board's take on what happened here.

He is responsible for leaking the email he sent to his superiors.

Imagine if every fricking military leader took every fricking gripe to the public.

Griping is an artform in the military. Of course they cheered.

Hey, why don't we run the military by voice vote!

Because he leaked the letter

You think that is allowable?

Chain of Command...that breaks down and the military is done.

He is a snowflake who leaked info to his hometown paper instead of walking down the hall to his Superior..He put the US in a vulnerable position against our enemies...giving them knowledge of what could be a Navy wide problem and a defense nightmare.

He did not follow protocol or chain of command and sent an email to 20 plus people.

He could have simply walked to the room next door and talked to a Admiral and Strike Group leader

The ship was on the way to Guam at the time to deal with the issue.

The ship is the perfect study (control group) for research about this.

5000 relatively healthy sailors together and isolated and exposed.

You can bet they will all be tested for corona virus and for antibodies of exposure and recovery by scientist and doctors to gain a lot of data about spread and cure rate on an isolated healthy group.

Maybe it was because he was leaving the ship. Think of it as subliminal clapping and cheering.

leaking information about the combat readiness of a ship

which can fall into the hands of people who don't like us, is a no-no

He is a commander of one of our largest aircraft carriers. Carriers are our first strike defense anywhere in the world. You should never allow the enemy to know that a carrier could potentially be down and you don’t need to be a naval commander to understand that. He informed the world that our carrier was down due to this virus and that is totally unacceptable. Relieving him was the proper course of action.

Because as a commander it is not a good idea to let your enemies know that your aircraft carrier may be out of commission. Should be demoted and then dishonorably discharged.

He publicly complained about the soldiers on his ship getting the flu. What a loser.
