“I do not think Captain Brett Crozier is naive nor stupid,” Modly said amid calls for his removal, including from the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, a Democrat.
The apology, which Modly also extended to the carrier’s crew and Crozier’s family, was a reversal from a statement the Navy’s top civilian issued hours earlier that said: “I stand by every word I said.”
WTF! Why not dismiss him self?
I think there’s a damn good chance the Trump people leaked the letter themselves, because dear leader doesn’t like being criticized and it gave the excuse to fire Crozier
I don’t want an apology from Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly I want him to resign in shame and to reinstate Captain Brett Crozier as Captain of the USD Theodore Roosevelt
Tooooooo Late
Modly needs to resign.
Modly's behavior was an embarrassment to the United States. An insult to our military. CrozierIsAHero covid19 unitedstates
As a veteran this was just as negligent as what the commander had done. Your suppose to be a leader act like it.
Time for this guy to go. Quite possibly the worst SecNAV I have experienced in my 35 years associated with the Navy and Marine Corps.
Very stupid ,
You can't take back , I fucked up
I guarantee you that right now someone is looking for, if not already known, the person who recorded his lecture and released it. They will fry them. Apology my ass.
wait didn’t he pull the “i apologize if there was a misunderstanding” bull?
The NAVY is a JOKE -- NOTHING BUT EMOTION BASED PUSSIES---We are SO Fucked if we have to depend on these pukes to protect us---apologies are a sign of WEAKNESS--the US Navy Secretary needs to be replaced now
Man overboard!
this guy is a civilian. without any respect to the military code of honour. so typical of trump administration. the commander is in charge of an aircraft carrier. this idiot has a small office with staff of 6? you are the naive and stupid one
Modly just proves he ought to fire himself. Talk about losing one's cool. Modly definitely has some psychological issues that need to be addressed. Trump has massive mental illness issues as well.
Step down
He has to apologize; if Trump loses military support, he’s boned.
Clearly SECNAV failed to submit the proper paperwork.
Dumbfuck broke Gibbs Rule 6. Acting career is toast. Will he resign or wait for “The Tweet.”
ResignModly
On the bright side, Modly, they got you to do their dirty work before they threw you under the bus.

Remember when President Trump wanted to replace aircraft carrier catapults with WW 2, steam catapults? Presumably; they would have been at port, not on station, for that delicate procedure! WOULD THE ENEMY HAVE NOTICED
This guy Trump coolie! No public servant! Serving no Naval warriors whose health should be more important than the war mission to fight enemies in the Pacific! This guy Trump's running dog unlike the previous one fired bc he opposed draft dodger Trump pardoning Gallagher!
As bad as China, persecuting whistle blowers
... Ass.
Still need to go homey...
Hes a trump muppet
Perhaps he's just doing damage control, but apologies are not something true Trumpians do. Alternatively, maybe he's actually remorseful that he delivered the message dictated to him by Trump, over his own best judgement.
And he was called 'racist' by the meaningless legacy media, including Reuters and the AP, when he did finally stop more Chinese from flooding into the US. Legacy media don't allow rank hypocrisy to get in the way of covering their own a$$es.
If he's a Trump appointee, he's probably a horse's ass
Frank Burns.
Nope. Modly forced a beloved CO out of commanding his ship, because he was raising concerns through his chain of command, about his subordinates. If anyone needs to be relieved of his duties, it’s Modly.
Capt. Brett E. Crozier, that's his name. He has the COVID19 virus now. Resign.
Awe...
Fire em.
Thomas Modly 'apologized' ONLY because he was caught on tape. His apology is meaningless. He must resign.
Hypersonic missile was kind of cool though
Live by the sword die by the sword.
Not good enough. Acting SECNAV must resign NOW. No confidence. Behavior unbecoming. ResignModly

'The apology, which Modly also extended to the carrier’s crew and Crozier’s family, was a reversal from a statement the Navy’s top civilian issued hours earlier that said: “I stand by every word I said.' — Hard to stand on a pile of hot shite.
Nothing more sincere than an apology after your comments got leaked to the public. I'm sorry I didn't know the microphone was on.
Stricken.. was it still operational ?
They relived the wrong man.
Great acting and this aircrafts carrier stricked by Coronavirus would be back to well ASAP.
Who didn't help him and his crew? Why did he have to beg? I think we all knew about the problem a day or two before.
Shameful
This 'man' is a ship without a rudder; tossed and turned by the waves. The men and women of this administration are spineless stooges; the sock puppets of an insane criminal.
I think Captain made error in judgment Sounds like they weren’t paying attention to him so he went rogue Why not discipline him rather than fire No talking to Crew was going to change their minds.
Capt. Brett E. Crozier, that's his name. He has the COVID19 virus now. America's so divided right now, so sad.
This moron should resign for what he did. That captain stood up for his crew, to hell with the consequences.
He should be treated the same way he treated the commander and be fired
