Navy Captain Fired for Raising Alarm on Coronavirus Outbreak Tests Positive: ReportCapt. Brett Crozier, the Navy captain who was fired after he tried to raise the alarm to officials about the growing number of coronavirus cases… He was shaking hands when he left just before getting into the car 😳 Relatively sure you don't get 'fired' from the military. It's either relieved from duty, court-martialed or dishonorably discharged. Could be wrong but you might want to check the terminology. Politically correct, for the record.👍🏼🤔
