Word is that Brett Crozier investigation is over and reinstatement as Captain is on the table

[Stinky The Clown]

Just reported on TRMS.

I will look for the story in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

1. Oh would that be sweet

2. I went to the Virginian-Pilot site and could not find the article.

The site is a chaotic mess of ads.

7. Interesting point. Why can't the news websites understand that everyone needs reliable information..

.... and for the duration of this pandemic pull down their firewalls. It is so frustrating to try and follow up on a news story to find that you are blocked by a firewall.

How many retirees, senior citizens, out of work-family members can afford to pay for subscriptions for the key news sites.

And the option to attempt to read an article with the intrusion of dozen and dozen of ads. Useless exercise.

Sorry but that is what I think would help to keep Trump honest. FACT CHECKING.

4. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I hope he gets his ship back!!!

5. bottom line: he did what he felt he HAD to do, to protect his crew

I doubt he would have HAD to do it were it not for the fucked up shit going on with Donald Fucking Trump.

6. That would be the right thing to do.

8. That would be the right thing to do

and that's why I expect the rump to do everything possible to scuttle those plans.

9. I suspect the Acting secretary of the Navy was the one who had his letter leaked

So he could look like a bad-ass by removing him in total disregard of proper procedure. Then he got to have his Patton moment chewing out the crew. Too stupid to realize it is not 1944. That did not work out too well.

But Trump won’t stop the reinstatement. At least I can’t see it. He could give a shit about the sailors but it is a PR disaster.

And again his biggest supporters will have to make a u turn. According to most posters on right wing sites the captain should be locked up in the brig and hanged for treason. I kid you not.

The Captain said if we were at war they would fight sick. As they should. But we are not at war. No reason for sailors to die and they had a 10% infection rate. I’ve never served. But if they stayed at sea and more sailors got sick the effectiveness of the carriers would at some point become degraded. I would imagine that there are tons of redundancies built into the electronic and mechanical systems on a ship that size. But can’t believe there is much of a crew redundancy built in. Maybe some of our veteran members will correct me.

10. that was quick.......

more like the word is drumpf's poll numbers just took a SHIT with the military because he was actually stupid enough to believe the sailors would buy his story. time for damage control.........

Crozier should tell him to go fuck himself and say he'll accept reinstatement from Biden

[not fooled]

11. red don should lose either way

of course Crozier shouldn't have been relieved of that command in the first place = red don is an ass

but reinstating Crozier also makes him look like an ass for being so erratic and changeable.

13. I don't see

any chance of him being reinstated by this White House. Trump probably sees it as a direct attack on him.

A Biden White House could install him as SECNAV though.
