One of the officials said that Under Secretary of the Army James McPherson has been tapped to become the acting Secretary of the Navy, but another U.S. official stressed that it was uncertain if Defense Secretary Mark Esper had accepted Modly's resignation.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas B. Modly speaks at a Pentagon press briefing, Washington, D.C., April 2, 2020.Capt. Brett Crozier received rousing cheers by hundreds of his sailors as he walked off the ship for the final time according to videos later posted on social media.During a visit to Guam on Monday, Modly addressed the crew over the ship's loudspeaker system and blasted Crozier for how he distributed the letter.
That's a Carrier and bad ass Crew. They don't need ass kissing gum.
45 always picks the best actors!
Well, when the commander in chief acts this way, do you blame him for the initial reaction? The difference is, Modly stepped back and realized he’s wrong.
Good....Bye...
Bye Felicia!
Bye Felicia I hope he gets a rash
Good to hear! Don’t let the port hole hit you on the way out.
Well, he just followed Trump's example, which is insulting, offending and bullying anyone, anytime, for any reason openly. Trump everyday insults or bully someone with words worse than those. So, Trump should resign too? Trump turned politics into a pathetic circus.
Karma and good riddance.
Appropriate and noble move! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This makes my day!
Who's looking stupid now, huh?
Good
Now, if only the incompetent moron POTUS would also resign.
Good! He’s a disgrace and should be stripped of his rank. Trashing his men for trump is inexcusable! His loyalties cost him any credibility or respect. Capt. Crozier should be commended for trying to protect his men.
