I respect your opinion on this subject as much as anybody here because of your service, and I'd like to ask a question
Is going public with this before the acting Secretary of the Navy received his letter the right thing to do? Is he not undermining the chain of command? Then again, maybe he thought this would bring a quicker response, IDK
As anybody died? Does anyone have life threatening symptoms? Again, IDK
I have no problem with him reaching out to his superiors, I do have (or may have) a problem with him going to the press before they can act. When you go to the press first, you're playing politics, IMHO
I don't have an informed opinion, just pure speculation at this point.
I don’t really know 100% of the story but here is what I do know...
The acting secretary of the navy is a civilian....
The captain of the ship has a spotless record...he is in command of 5000 men on a nuclear submarine where the living conditions are tight...
The Captain feared for the safety of his men due to the Virus...
He made a command decision..
My opinion is that he acted accordingly and had the welfare of his men and the operation of his ship above all else....the acting secretary and the president should be greateful....

And we’ve got well-documented now, you know, that situation on the nuclear carrier, the Roosevelt, USS Roosevelt, where hundreds of sailors have gotten infected from people that were not sick.”
