I don’t know. The Army has changed quite a bit from my days in green so it’s not only the Navy!
As soon as the story hit the news I said he never should have gone outside the chain of command (San Francisco Chronicle - seriously?) and I would have felt that way regardless of what size ship, but my God, one of our deployed aircraft carriers?????? Seriously? There are strategic assets and then there are aircraft carriers!
Announcing to the world that the ship was mission ineffective on a personal email was way out of bounds for our national security, to his chain of command, and to the families of those sailors. His name ain’t Clinton and his email was a career ending event and he had to know that.
“...his email was a career ending event and he had to know that.”
Not so fast there bub. I just heard that they are considering reinstating his command.
