So maybe we should remove congress from their positions for giving themselves a RAISE "in the midst of this Crisis"!
Gone Fishing Absolutely!
There was no pay increase in the stimulus bill. Research, question, research. Repeat.
Congress does not have an allegiance to the Constitution For The United States republic.
Vote them out if we want change.
Exactly what should be done
If your career is going to end, there are worse ways to go out than making sure your crew is safe and hearing them chant your name as you leave.
Gnoll We should impeach him. That’ll slow him down. :) jk.
Hell yea...
I guess media exposure makes them safer🤔

If one of my Commanders had put me in that kind of danger I promise you cheering is not what that man would have heard. I wonder what the members of that cheering crew were told about why the Commander was relieved.
I am a former infantryman and a Marine. That Captain protected his men and woman... his sailors, which is his job. A hero in every sense of the description. F the acting SecNav.
Wdeemar Wdeemar Semper Fi
big Lbo I don’t care is he is a civilian... that’s why we still have officers, to protect the morale, physical, and mental welfare of his sailors. I am reading from the naval officers handbook. Also that “civilian” is gone and had to resign. Lastly, and most importantly that ship has been quarantined as more sailors have fallen ill, actually more than doubled.
big Lbo the admiralty refused to declare his sip “combat-ineffective and unfit for duty” thus allowing the Captain to return to home port. They ordered him to remain on station.
He said “F$&K tha! And blew the whistle by jumping head wit a letter of complaint wile CCing a whole bunch of people not normally privy to these discussions, so that eventually the story would leak by someone else.
My cousins boyfriend is on there she had told us that it happend overnight where most of the men and woman and the carrier got sick but my prayers go out to all them
Wdeemar , do we need to thank you for your service ?
So that's why the secretary has resigned, he made a terrible decision.
Henry Johnson spot on
Now one of the sailors has died
You dont read much do you..He resigned because of his disgraceful speech to the crew debasing the captain..
@Miro Mato out of 5,000
@@rackets7991 Isn't that what I said? He made a bad speech and had to resign. He made a terrible decision
"If a superior officer loses confidence in the judgement of a subordinate officer, the subordinate officer has to go." That is a valid and proven practice. Yet Captain Crozier has proven that he cares more about his crew than he doe's about his career. That's why they cheered him. That is the definition of character.
@Joe HoltonIt's a shame that the Republican-led Congress cut funding for embassy defense forces in the year prior to the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi. Imagine how much more effectively the CIA could have defended the place if it had been properly equipped and funded.
Unlike Congress, Hilary Clinton was held accountable, investigated thoroughly, and found guilty of no wrongdoing. This has escaped your attention. I'm surprised.
When Trump's voting base starts dying from dilatory action on his part, he might notice. So far, his inaction has killed more Americans than the War on Terror. Chew on that while you're obsessing over a former Presidential candidate and her emails.
@@ObediahPolkinghornIII-cz5io" his inaction", Im confused here. Are you talking about the inaction of closing the boarders before most people thoight it was necessary and while being called racist for doing so? Or are you talking about the inaction of trying to calm a public on the verge of mass hysteria? Or are you talking about his refusal to trample on human rights to fight a virus that by all measures has been greatly over estimated?
You're going to have yo be more specific here.
Jacob Hargiss He was warned in January but waited two months to close the borders, by which time the virus was already here and it was too late. Civil rights are no use to the dead. This isn’t kristallnacht; it’s the mandatory wearing of masks to save lives. I’m confused by your lack of awareness of these things. Don’t worry though, because Trump said it’ll be over by April.
@@ObediahPolkinghornIII-cz5io i see cnn has fed you well all there lies have worked on you.
Scruffy 61 Wow. No one likes being lied to. I’m so upset to learn that it has happened to me. Can there be a trustworthy news service? Will you tell me its name? Gosh, I’ll be so grateful.
The CO of that ship knew what he was doing, he quit and didn’t want his name associated with what was going on under his command. You never send email or letter telling people the status of your vessel or any problem that could effect your mission. I’m retired Navy this is security 101.
** edit **
In the military every seaman recruit is required to memorize the chain of command from you to the president of the United States, and at anytime provide that if asked. Day 1 we are taught if the next link in the chain isn’t responding to you, we are duty bound to then report it to the next link in the chain, the only thing is you also inform the weak link at the same time, that you took this up the chain, so we know were the problem was in the chain of command. That’s our duty, and yes sometimes it’s ruff, I’m living proof, happened to me, but in the end I prevailed. “Honor, Courage, Commitment”
Jake remember when a news reporter gave a position away during Iraq war they removed him immediately
Geraldo
There are so many low information brain dead people who haven't quite grasp this important fact. Thank you for spelling it out so eloquently and speaking truth!
@Mrs. Amy Campbell yes. Much braver to keep your mouth shut when you know something is wrong and let those that are going to pass on get it over with. He's the captain of a warship, who are you to question his decisions?
@@StinkFingerr now Geraldo is working for fox entertainment entertaining deplorables!!! 😷
MILLEY is like BIDEN - he gets nothing right and lies constantly.
“Some” sailors?!?! Lol this is a perfect example of spinning a narrative. They didn’t show the video of hundred if not thousands of sailors cheering him on. I would say that’s a bit more than “some” 😉
If it was 25% cheering it is considered 'some'
You were closer with the "hundred". The crew number of that ship is roughly 250.
OregonShooter 5,000 sailors onboard a carrier
danbrowne212 how do you know?
Most I'm guessing came out because they like him.
Every single American should know that the Captain knew he was burning his career down, he sacrificed himself for the sailors under his command. God Bless him.
And invited attack.
@@mr.invisable6919 ....Maybe you haven't heard...they're considering reinstating him.
@@garyaugustus1009 does that negate the the fact?
@@mr.invisable6919 It's an opinion, not a fact, and it's open to debate. I'm interested in your point of view. Who exactly is waiting to attack Guam, and do they have the capability to do it at 24 hours' notice? Even the Marines would take at least 36.
John Rabson Jr , Your the same guy that after an attack would begin whining why weren’t we ready.
Far too many political officers in the armed services.
Yeah, too many ones that are more worried about saving face for the service or sucking up to a corrupt Administration than the lives of their own men and women.
@@EntertaningAmerica So, every commander of troops now gets to do whatever they want whenever they want? It is not some fantasy feel-good movie. Grow the F up.
@@EntertaningAmerica You're a complete idiot
While everyone Else is calling the Captain A Hero.. Trump supporters are calling the Captain a Traitor …. With 7,000 dead Americans dead from the Virus in 9 days I call him A Hero
@@wordragon Your lack of maturity is showing here. Every commander has legal authority to make their own ethical and sound decisions to best accomplish the mission. The Captain here displayed excellent leadership in putting the lives of his men before his career. We are not currently at war, which means the his paramount mission is still the safety of his Sailors and Marines. He knew the consequences of such an action and was disciplined accordingly, that's not to say what he did was entirely wrong.
Trying to save the lives of his sailors was in fact priority. Had he said nothing and thousands of sailors died they’d would have damned him as well. I’d be ashamed to have fired a 30 year Navy commander without just cause.
Crypto Cowboy am am dc c as
Sailors are not priority.. security of the country is.. that's the navy for u...
I think Navy should not publish its weakness publicly.. especially to rival countries who make take advantage of the situation
I'm pretty sure they said it was all a lie and the captain was the boy who cried wolf
@@SiSi-ju1xk ...by attacking Guam?
So called general he would let his guys die because of not breaking rules. 🤦🏾♂️
wss w No! No! GENERAL Milly is great! He is the Mathis of the Army.
He was instructed to say this In order to present the appearance of a cool, calm and collected CIVILIAN [remember that] leader. He is forbidden from speaking against the civilian leadership.
No know the SECDEF said “Milley! THE PEOPLE TRUST YOU! Get out there and tell everybody that everything is fine until we sort this out”.
This whole thing is a Navy issue. Milley has nothing to do wit it.
He is BRAVE
@@yawjay7049 you call that brave? Brave is what captain of then ship did even tho coast him his career. If he didn't take any action many would have died on ship or other ship's.
He's not the one who makes the call, just another Obama lapdog who needed to be gone long time ago
15 seconds of truth who Milley? No way!!. If anything he had to keep his head down to make sure Obama didn’t get rid of him and everyone like him.
I like how his face never changes if happy or sad.
Edgar Tobias military members as I know myself from the Air Force are supposed to keep military bearing whenever interacting with the direct public or media, in order to maintain utter professionalism throughout military operations
Edgar Tobias he is serious!
Leadership
Edgar Tobias ☆ That means he's happy.
He only Smiles when his Fleet Engages.
😮i thought he was happy :)
Yea. I mean I'm just a layman who by no means has any military or strategic intuition, ....... but something in my gut tells me it's not a good thing to broadcast to the world that your aircraft carrier is pinned down with a potentially deadly disease and you feel stranded and vulnerable. Especially in Guam, where the Chinese are literally just on the other side of the Philippines, violating the Philippine's sovereignty by building Chinese military installations right off the Philippines coast. There is arguably no ship in our entire fleet that is closer to a foreign hostile power.
AGREED!
Jerry Snoor Jr compromised the navy instantly
Idk it sounds complicated because if you as a captain see your men getting sick and asking for help, would you just let them all die? That's like killing off soldiers for the country's ego. I guess that's what war is in its core.
Totally agree.
@@silentobserver8053 I don't think for a minute that's what anyone wants. Even military leaders have families and loved ones. They get it. You probably shouldn't just go rogue in your efforts to get help............in the military.
You said "some" sailors chanted his name when he was removed? You edited out the footage of the sailors...that was a LOT of sailors. Anyone can look it up Fox. Stop trying to downplay this event.
Well, it was less than 25% of the ship. So, I think they were just staying it as a "matter of fact" type meaning.
@@paulscountry456 this guy right man wow they all did video shows it all the whole thing they loved the capt and he had every reason to be very concerned about the health of his people he took the safety of his men and woman very seriously over 150 plus and himself sick wow we should praise him for his hard work but look at what fox does
Right! Downplayed indeed. I guess an aircraft carrier filled with THOUSANDS of Sailors equates as some.....smh
@@phil5301 The area of that aircraft carrier was absolutely packed to the brim with sailors. You're right, there wasn't enough room for the rest of the crew.
@@CFLsurfr So where were all the sick? Stop it.
When the American people lose confidence in the SecNav. You go
He went.
Except the poor judgment was that of this secretary to not act quickly enough for those sailors. The Captain saved these sailors lives, he shouldn't have had to choose between the lives of those under his command vs his career, but he did and will probably sleep better at night for it.
If this is how this captain re-acted when confronted with the reality of a virus how would he of re-acted when confronted with an immediate enemy attack ??
ye
The virus is a hoax, remember?
an attack that would result in more deaths and injury's than the virus has infected, yup a commander fit only for perfectly peaceful conditions where his people are safe from injury.
@@christopher756 no no, it's just the flu. Remember it'll be gone by Easter
He would very likely ask “help” from the media, and acting like a whisle-blower hero in public, even though his behavior exposes the nation to grave danger.
That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard of,to relieve the captain over a virus.The wrong one got fired!
He violated chain of command and he knew what he was doing. He knew there would be a punishment but he made his decision. The Navy has every right to do that.
@@shrekwazowski8199 That must be why his boss resigned.
@@ObediahPolkinghornIII-cz5io
GOD Bless both 😇🙏🏼
@@shrekwazowski8199 Imagine what he was up against, that a highly trained strategic expert was left with that as his course of action.
David Aspinall the Navy still has every right to fire him. They DO. He knew what he was doing and he knew there would be a punishment so they had every right to fire him. He had the right morals and did the wrong thing. I’ve yet to see a person in the military (not who claims to be military, but people who truly seem to be military and act real) who backs Crozier. The Navy has every right to fire him. If they don’t have the right to fire him, at least also argue against basic training. It’s way harsher. But the Navy has every right to fire Crozier because he knew what he was doing and he knew he would be punished.
Translation: He made the suits looks bad.
teufeldritch exactly
teufeldritch yup
I always love how black and white these guys talk.
Everyone knows right from wrong there shouldn't be excuses.

Yes. Thank God. Servicemen would be in grave danger if commanders dithered!
GOOD JOB CAPTAIN! You brought attention to your need when 'chain of command' ignored you. You took one for the team! Proud of you for a command decision!
It seems like the ship's captain lost trust in you. And so did I
That 4 star isn’t going to give you a real answer, on active duty.

@@dalesen Virus is not airborne. And you were not in the Navy.
@@cnam1258 he was Under Siege in 1992.
In reality he endangered his Carrier strike group by releasing classified operational information outside of his chain of command. It’s especially bad being that the group is on duty, protecting the country. He is endangering you as a matter of fact. What he did was unacceptable and criminal. Far more dangerous then a handful of people in the crew with a virus.
Please explain to me why you think he put anyone at danger?
Did those men cheering for HIM sound LIKE they were against what HE did! Use YOUR brain. There is a whole lot more to this story?
There is A LOT more to this story! HE knew the consequences but maybe that's the point! Sounds LIKE some lies all the way around! His men were cheering as they were PROUD! Doesn't make any sense!
The CO is a American hero for sacrificing his job to protest trainwreck Trump's chaotic policies that theaten our military. He knew exactly what he was doing.

tommykat1054 I’m sorry to say to u sir but our government has failed and it’s not America’s fault it’s just old sick and senile people like trump,Bernie,Biden who care more about their pocket/title then anything else. the only thing we can do is wait until they get removed by natural causes or otherwise( I like how my phone just auto corrected Bernie and Biden to caps but left trump lower case)
@@w4rl0rd93 Trump is far from being senile. I dont feel one bit failed by our government. I do know regardless that they'll will always be distraction. Biden and Bernie are your traditional political swamp creatures. They've been screwing this country for years. Anybody that follows their ideology is also left of center(no pun intended). Trump at least provides action not distraction. I'll take hes leadership anyday. And all the people that interrupt hes message as not for the people of the US need to wake up from the years of gov brainwashing.
Hes duty is also to the people of the United States. Im sure there are people on that ship that didnt agree with hes action. With that said, no confidence in leadership means no commanding.
The Commander is removed because he is not good at lying like his superiors.
Loooooool
This is not a cruise liner..like the Diamond Princess...the sailors do not have individual cabins..having seen the catastrophe in the Diamond Princess..as a leader he acted bravely before the entire crew is infected..he is not only protecting his sailors but the entire navy community and their families...salute to you Sir, Captain Crozier !!!
He put them in harms way by allowing his crew to leave the ship.
NAVY 101... Obey your chain of command.
Joseph DuPont - How?
Yes, this is not a civilian cruise ship. Those who serve through the military are held to a higher standard. If civilian ships weren't docked, why would a military ship dock? To let any of those sailors off the ship would have been a crime to the public and we would be having a different conversation.
@@josephdupont

@@iohishfs You obviously have never been in the armed forces. He broke the chain of command and in the military that is a huge offense. Everyone in the military from a private to a general knows the importance of chain of command.

You might want to review the AR670-1 since it did not apply to general ranks.

Ryan Nguyen nope generals of the army are 5 stars
@@flight2k5 5 star general's only exists when the country is at war. As of now there are no 5 star general's in the US
It’s one thing to dismiss an officer for disobeying the chain of command. It’s another thing for the government official to go to the officer’s worksite and tell the subordinates via intercom that the officer who was dismissed was “naive or stupid”. Nobody needs or cares to hear their opinions. As far as I’m concerned, the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt was asking for help because he had sailors who were sick and couldn’t do their job. He should’ve been given the equivalent of a “captain’s mass” to where he would’ve been given a sentence in a private, responsible, and respectful way; not publicly humiliated.
When I dug into the story and realized he sent a communication on open channels to everyone and his dog, ya he is lucky they did not fire him out of a cannon.
Pyrolight... The Captain made really poor decision, being in his position.
Pyrolight his crew obviously dont think so
If this guy were around in the time of Capt. Bligh, he would've been "keelhauled."

Didn’t even dare to give “some sailors” a moment in your coverage because they’re too many! Literally EVERY sailor was rallying in the send off.
Kenny S that doesn’t make the captain’s incorrect actions correct. I’m ex US Navy myself. If that same action had been taken by any other members of the crew they would receive a court martial.
@@1uckyl3mark Hey, being that you're EX Navy, maybe you have some insight. Do you think this could be a situation where the Captain may have asked for relief within the chain, and was denied? Possibly causing him to leak to get his men help.
Joseph Mason how many of his “men” have died from it? They all looked fine all crowded together cheering for him.
Joseph Mason there has been no evidence that the captain leaked the email to media. His mistake was to send the email to 30 recipients in Navy leadership, rather than within his line of command. Anyone of the 30 people could leak the letter.
Joseph Mason It doesn’t work like that in America, otherwise the orange moron would already be behind bars. You’re making up yourself a story so you feel less uncomfortable punishing a 30 year war veteran captain. Your kind failed our military and betrayed our loyalty.
The Captain knew the consequences, there is a chain of command.
"You have failed me for the last time, Captain Needa"
They didn't care tho, that's the point. They only took action cuz the media
Captain Crozier sacrificed his career for the good of his crew. There is no higher duty for a commanding officer.
@Brian Waller Exactly how was the chain of command broken? You have idea what the Navy was already doing to address the situation. The CO of the ship didn't think it was enough so he broke operational security (OPSEC) and then the chain of command. He knew it was a career ending decision.
@@psychiccrocodile3679 They were already taking action. Nothing has changed, except the CO is no longer responsible for the ship.
He didn't just break the chain of command he went to the MSM disclosing intelligence on current operational status while deployed he's lucky he was only removed and not imprisoned
His reckless action was exposing the unit's vulnerability to the enemy at close range. What an idiot!
Andrew Schnatter Well he still may be removed, Be Safe Be Healthy 🌷

@@jinghuiniu7335 what enemy
So what. When that many men and women serving under you are at great risk and nothing is being done, it doesn't matter where the Hell the ship is or its status. Of course this General is going too side with the Secretary. He is more a political hack versus a soldiers soldier. Which doesn't fly with those who serve under such officers.
I graduated the USNA. I served on several carriers under several different captains. All Academy graduates. I know exactly how this Captain felt. He knew what he was doing. He knew the risk involved. I cannot take sides with political officers. I never will.
This Captain is a bona fide hero. He put his crew ahead of all else and in doing so, he brought attention to the needs of them first.

Captain Crozier did his best to support his shipmates, his honorable service will not be forgotten by those who matter.

EASY DECISION! Opsec is paramount! It's the number 1 code we don't break. Loose lips, sinks ships.
To put it in perspective, if China or any of our enemies got that info, what would stop them from attacking the Carrier?
You nailed it. Exactly.

Yes. You can tell.
No nonsense.
He gave a solid answer to a tough question
No he gave a coached political answer. The army told him what he can and cannot say.
Meh...
Sounded scripted to me
He created a huge security risk in publicizing the situation in the ship. Removal was the only option.
Security risk? GTFOH
@Kevin Trust there should be a show called Trump supporters say the dumbest things.

He is literally the highest ranking solider in the us army
Our leaders should not act hysterical.
Agree. Furthermore, our supercarrier captains should be made of even sturdier material.
There was nothing hysterical happening. Crozier put his troops over the mission, because he knows that without the troops, the mission fails. If he had gotten support from the Navy, he would not have had to resport to the letter he sent.
I thought this audience support our troops.
Hysterical? Our leaders should care about our lives! Wow you are so brainwashed
@@psychiccrocodile3679 Now, they know the coordinate of the ship, they know the level of protection of the ship, they know the capability of the ship, then I think he is a traitor of U.S,A. and a hero of China. After this, he will get a big payroll from CCP.
My husband was in the military 2 tours. He says what the captain did was go outside the chain of command. That’s how the military is. I didn’t see what the big deal was so I asked his opinion. It’s not about why it’s about how he did it.
Angie Sparks as a Vet I think it’s a BS law 😔
The Chain of Command only works when there is leadership all the way up. The Cammander of the Navy and Secretary of the Navy didn't do their job. Captain Crozier didn't start with the letter. It's obvious the threat to the carrier was being ignored.
Richard Chappell The captain’s boss was literally down there hall, on the same ship. The captain was an idiot and it’s good he was relieved.
@@Danafondo - if his boss hadn't abdicated his responsibility, the the captain wouldn't have sent the letter wider than his direct chain. Obviously the leak was from there and someone who agreed with the captain.
Lando Beats - What law? This is about protocol.
I imagine what was happening is was the Navy wasn’t moving fast enough on helping his sailors and he fell on his sword to get them off that Ship. The reaction of those Sailors tell me all I need to know about that Captain, I’d follow him.
The people have spoken. The guy had enough character and integrity to step down. Who is the next sycophant in line?
Retired Navy here, you do not go around the chain of command! There is more to this story, so stay tuned! Not good
RG H Something is up, this story smells fishy. What that letter was about? they don’t want American people to know.
I wonder how many of these people saying he did the right thing have ever served? The mission is more important than your life. If you don't understand that then don't take the oath! If you're not willing to die then don't sign up! These "shitmates" cheering him on are a bunch of pussies!
Two facts to point out:
1) January 17, 2020 USS Theodore Roosevelt departed San Diego for a scheduled Indo-Pacific deployment.
2) March 5, The Theodore Roosevelt anchored off the coast of Tien Sa Port in Da Nang, Vietnam, for a four-day port visit.
He wasn't relieved of his command because he "begged" for help. He was relieved of his command because (1) he went oustide the chain of command, and (2) allowed Sailors to go on shore leave in areas that had confirmed cases of COVID-19 on March 5th - 8th in Vietnam. 3) He compromised this country, the ship, the crew and our allies by allowing shore leave. He made a HUGE MISTAKE by doing so and showed NO LEADERSHIP when he made that decision. He put EVERYONE on board at RISK.
How else did the virus get on board, if the ship deployed in mid Jan? Or maybe this virus has been circulating in the U.S way before Jan 17th when this ship deployed?
@@nickmendy2503 I never said that, I only know what I know and paid attention to. Thank you for your service
Man you talk about a soldier this general is all business I like him
They are a dying breed. Glad he is leading our team.
I went to college early 20-teens with a Marine officer with similar mannerisms. I can't wait to see where his military career leads.
Yeah he probably wouldn't panic and take back a raise once given.
Thank God he’s in front of us defending this nation. Man. Don’t mess with this guy.
Imagine him during war or bio attach he would abandon ship lol that captain is a coward
The truth is the truth. Sounds like he was trying to safe everyone on board. God bless him for that, he should be given a metal of honor.
well when common sense and good judgment stands in the way of the chain of command, then eventually you should think about the chain
Watching this guy is how my dad always looked at me when he talked to me.
Tough dad. My dad looked at me like that when he was asking me if I'd finished my homework. I lied to him. Once.
Really BadAim, mine did as well. My dad was an Admiral and a career line officer from WWII
Without question as a Captain of a ship for the US Navy or any other military force you MUST FOLLOW PROTOCOL! The right decision has been made!
G money who says he didn’t, perhaps the leak came from elsewhere

Vietnam does not close the China border and so many Chinese people from the place of export from Huhan city to Vietnam can carry many killer viruses. Why did this battleship captain send soldiers to the city of Da Nang? If you look at pictures of soldiers not wearing masks in contact with guests in Da Nang, during this dangerous time. A mistake so big and now many sailors have been infected with China. The ship is now inactive because the general cleaning is located on Guam Island, about 3,000 sailors have to be isolated in the island hotel. The two major mistakes of the captain and he are not worthy in this position.
When the troops cheer you, something's wrong!
Maybe he exposed a coverup
He was weak.
They were cheering that he was leaving, because Trump body slammed his azz ….
Subordinates are never told the reasons or the why when someone junior in rank is relieved of command. Those sailors had no idea of the circumstances when they cheered their captain. In my opinion, the captain did wrong by undermining the chain of command.
ya they know the truth and we get the political spin..as long as the pres looks good the men can die .. that why fragging happens

The system has failed again. Removing a Captain like this, who cares about the life of his sailors.
Crozier made the right decision; because, who is sick, on board ship, is as important as how many are sick. The Captain of the ship, Crozier, has tested positive for the corona virus. Nobody can command a ship with 6,000 crewmen while they are sneezing, coughing, aching, & hallucinating from a fever. Moreover, there was a fleet command center aboard & the captain sat with them daily. If they are all sick, they can't operate & fight a battle group rationally or effectively. Here's a salient fact: not every officer can guide a ship in & out of port, and into a docking space & out. If the captain is so sick that he can't see or think straight, how's he supposed to keep port & starboard, reverse & forward straight in his head? Which ship handler takes his place? A sick captain is a dangerous captain.
I've been on board a US Navy ship when it hit the pier. It's not a pretty sight. As a navy navigational specialist, I know that Navy ships have run aground. That's bad too. Let's give one more example. If the pilots on board the carrier get the virus, who's supposed to fly the airplanes? This ship was days away from doubling its sick call & maybe a week away from having 500 to 600 specialists down. That attrition rate would have made the Teddy Roosevelt a sure fire disaster waiting to happen.
For the novice, American aircraft carriers sail in flotillas. Maneuvering of all ships is a constant challenge. Collision at sea can be horrific. Crozier knew all that & more. In fact, in his defense, I'd like to see a list of who was sick. Imagine if the sailors & officers who tend the nuclear power plant were sick. Can you imagine sending a ship's cook to the engine room to trouble shoot the turbines? I'm pretty sure that unsolvable problems were why Captain Crozier did what he did. I'd salute him & I'd sail under his command any day.
Most politicians don't care about military personnel,they just care about what the military could do for them.
I was Navy - I just wish we had an actual chain of command in government. We are the "leaky" country .
You're right and thank you for serving America.
I'm Navy vet ,! Chain of command !! Now the media is going to find every bit of info about the status of our warships and broadcast it every day to the world without censorship !! THAT GUY WAS A FOOL !! The Media already broadcast that another carrier is got the same problem and NAMED the ship also ! There was no mention at all about the status of military forces of any country untill now !1 If our enemies hadn't thought about it before they are now , and making plans based on that , what a FOOL! And his crew thinks he's a hero !!OMG !!

I understand what your saying but he did what he thought was right to help his men and women on his ship I tip my hat to him
They're trying a COVER UP. It was obvious. "Ships ability to go to sea" how good COULD a ship function with 100 badly sick. "Family members" yeah they didn't want them knowing the truth..... obviously to cover it up.
The CO is a American hero for sacrificing his job to protest trainwreck Trump's chaotic policies that theaten our military. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper told military commanders a month ago, when Trump was calling this a hoax, not to make any decisions related to the coronavirus that might surprise the White House or run afoul of President Trump’s messaging.

@JohnGalt009 Speaking of knee-jerk reactions. Hey numbnuts, he is LEGALLY BOUND to be tow the party line. Obviously, you never served in the military or you would have heard of this thing called the UCMJ. It is ILLEGAL for anyone to break the chain of command, to violate security, or to disparage or question the judgment of a superior. Now whether you agree with that or not is a separate issue, but you are more than welcome to lecture your elected officials about how great it would be if we democratized the military and allowed people in uniform to criticize one another and speak against command authority. Good luck with that, nincompoop.
Julian Cate you are a bit wrong there. If your superior is ordering you to something illegal you do not have to follow his order and should report him or her. When I was in the Air Force, I had a warrant officer who was acting commander of our unit tell me to sign paper work to certify that a warhead on a Titan II was operational when it was not. I told him if wanted it on alert status he could put his name on it, but mine would not be on that paperwork. Guess what happened? That Missile was not put on alert status!
Robert Ellis -You and Julian Cate are both correct. And you know it. As far as having a “Patton” (as someone else mentioned), I think we do have one-He’s the Commander in Chief and his name is President Donald J Trump. Ooh Rah!
This man gives direct answers. Thank you Sir.
Very proud to have had this ship docked in Baltimore for many years. You could see her for a distance. A super tanker turned into a hospital is quite amazing. Only in America. May God protect all who board her.
Here we have a Captain who cares about his crew and a politician who cares about himself.
The Fleet Commander was just 30 feet away. He never informed the Fleet Commander of his intended actions. That will get you relieved in no time flat. As the Fleet Commander makes that call. Yet he was blind sided by the Captains actions.
Have a Nice Day Captain...

wakawaka1976 Lawful orders
Like Col Vidman?
He wasn't under orders about this. He had a serious medical / infectious disease issue on his ship and had already flagged it to CoC but clearly he had no reaction so his letter (to his CoC) was leaked. Check the date on his letter.
Fact is he has been removed because the Donald woke up, threw a strop and the 'stand in' SecNav saw his new job disappearing...
I think that the general was pretty succinct. The captain went outside the chain of command. The Secretary lost confidence in him. He's gone. End of story. How many sailors love the guy has nothing to do with it.
Why are they interviewing a general in the military about soemthing like this? He isn't going go speak his opinions . What are they expecting him to say ? The president sucks ? The navy generals sucks ? Of course not he is a robot of the military 🤔😂🙄

Chain of command ... that's what the military is founded upon. No issue here.
So the Secretary of the Navy relieves a ship's captain, rather than the Chief of Naval Operations, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the commanding officer of the Pacific Fleet? The list is endless if you want to talk chain of command.... there are a ton of people between the captain and the Secretary of the Navy. SecNav broke the chain of command.

Some sailors? Wow. Why did they cut out the shot of the entire crew cheering the captain as he left. Smh
don't guess know that it was for propaganda purposes to cover the jackass's poor decisions
So the propaganda was other news outlets simply showing the whole scene instead of a cropped version? I wonder how Democrats managed to get in that boat and pay all those soldiers to cheer?
They took Capt. Crozier down, but they did exactly what he pleaded for.
Ronnie Patton i was thinking the same thing
It was denied initially.... Once they began doing tests and realized how right he was they brought them into port. Nobody believed this man from the jump.
