The Navy has removed the commander of a San Diego-based guided-missile cruiser from his post, citing a loss of confidence in his ability to command.

Probably refused to allow a homosexual sailor to come on duty in drag.

In todays climate he could be merely less than queer friendly which would be more than sufficient to relieve him.

Now that women have been forced onto ships and boats it is pretty easy for someone to get hit with a harassment suit, whether real or imagined.

Yes, obama is purging all warriors from the military. His ideal leader is Wesley Clark.

Not a lousy skipper. He had previous tours as captain of an Aegis class destroyer and executive office of the cruiser he was dismissed from. More likely not following the PC line coming out of the Defense Dept. these days.
