Absolutely dead on, true! Thought this throughout my posting of this. And this “story” is still running on national radio— complete with “confirmed victims” and “trying to find hotel rooms in Guam for the sailors”.

Unbelievable. Sure— if they are infected then spread it all around Guam to further impact an important base and support of our forces in the mid Pacific. Perfect. And perfectly stupid. Get them infected, and infect the Guam populace.

If true— at all on the story or any part of this. If it is “placed” then it could be a most excellent “sting” against commies who want the US out of Guam. Our airbase also. The chinks are watching either way. I do think it is FAKE news— does not ring true in my 200 year plus Navy family every generation, mind.

thanks.

there’s this today: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-navy/navy-does-not-rule-out-punishing-captain-of-carrier-who-wrote-scathing-letter-idUSKBN21J6LQ

I’m inferring that the letter is legit...

I’m still scratchin my head why a Capt. would wreck his career unless he has no shot at Admiral?

Letter didn’t pass the smell test but apparently was written by CO.
