He has tested positive for the virus.

Too stupid?

Stupid is sending the ship into Danang for a civic action PR port visit. Where did the onboard cases of virus come from? How did Captain Crozier get the virus?
"Modly's use of the word "betrayal" is a loaded because saying an officer has betrayed the Navy is a court martial offense.
A defense official familiar with Modly's remarks offered his opinion of Modly's address, saying the acting secretary "should be fired. I don't know how he survives this day."
As of Monday, 173 of the ship's crew have now tested positive for coronavirus and 61% of the crew have been tested, according to a Navy official. Approximately 2,000 have been evacuated from the ship and moved ashore."

Ever heard of praise in public, admonish in private.
Shameful on the part of acting SecNav.
Also shameful on the part of Biden to call it criminal. There is a better word that does not imply legal course of action.
Is this the only ship of 350 that has a case of virus onboard.
What is Navy policy regarding onboard virus in the fleet?

"Meanwhile, President Trump has blamed Crozier for exposing his crew to COVID-19 by making a port visit in Vietnam—a port visit that, given the logistics and diplomacy connected to a visit by a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, would need to have been directed at a fairly high level within the Department of Defense, in coordination with other parts of the Trump administration. And Crozier has now tested positive for COVID-19 himself."
Blame Crosier for the port visit to Vietnam? Who in fact is to blame for this visit in time of Corona?
WTF?

Who is senior to whom here??????????? SecNav is a civilian. So is SecDef.
"Chief of Naval Operations Michael Gilday, along with Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, had favored conducting an investigation, The Post reported on Sunday, but Modly chose to relieve the Roosevelt's captain immediately.
"I didn't want to get into a decision where the president would feel that he had to intervene because the Navy couldn't be decisive," Modly told The Post."
Mobly is a pure politician!
Conduct a UCMJ investigation!
"You can't handle the truth!"

"An anonymous Navy officer familiar with the situation told the Daily Caller that commanders immediately began to try and keep Modly’s speech from getting out.
“And the CAG (carrier air wing commander, the guy in charge of the aircraft on the carrier, an O-6) sent an email to the entire crew after the SECNAV was done saying ‘in order to publish a speech you need that person’s explicit permission and you don’t have the secant’s permission to publish what he just said, so if you recorded what he just said delete it immediately,'” the Navy officer said.
“That’s totally not how publishing speeches work, but it’s clear they quickly realized how poorly the speech was received and are trying to suppress it.”
Too late for that! SNAFU. Who is in charge here?
The smell of fear at the top level is increasing. Good order and discipline! 40 lashes will continue until good order is restored!
