Angry sailors can be heard yelling profanities at Trump acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly while he trashed their former captain who got fired for sending out a dire warning about the threat COVID-19 posed to the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
In a recording of Modlys speech posted by Task & Purpose, an angry sailor can be heard shouting, What the f*ck?! after Modly described former USS Theodore Roosevelt Capt. Brett Crozier as stupid and naive.
Another sailor can be heard yelling, He was trying to help us! after Modly complained that Croziers actions had created a big controversy in Washington, D.C.
Other sailors can be heard yelling unintelligibly after Modly accused Crozier of committing a betrayal of the sailors on board his ship.

(3,131 posts)1. The ironic part
Is how the big complaint was how crozier should have realized that his letter would be leaked and there would be a political controversy.
Did moldy realize the audio with the crews reactions would be immediately leaked?
Moldy might be gone soon. I can only hope
