, saying the captain's letter"unnecessarily raised the alarm of the families of our sailors and Marines." On Monday, in an expletive-laden comment aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Modly excoriated the captain, suggesting that he was"stupid or naïve" for writing the letter and accusing him of a"betrayal of trust."Initially, Modly stood by his comments, but after President Donald Trump offered support to Crozier, Modly issued an apology.
"Let me be clear, I do not think Captain Brett Crozier is naïve nor stupid," Modly said."I think, and always believed him to be the opposite." On Tuesday, Modly offered his resignation to Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who said Modly had quit on his own accord,"putting the Navy and the sailors above self so that the USS Theodore Roosevelt, and the Navy as an institution, can move forward."
What a career as Navy Sec though! Long enough to fly to Guam, advertise his lack of quals, and fly back. And spend $1/4M doing it. That's what he thought would be a good thing first time out? That will be top of his reference for sure.
How much was that impeachment fiasco?
Hopefully the lowlife enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame.
He really should pay the money back.
How many ventilators is that?
Modly stupidly called a former carrier captain stupid in front of his former crew. He spent more than a quarter mil to do it. On top of it all (accuse me of not-so-hirsute shaming but appreciate 'on top of it all'), he had a bad hair transplant. Seriously, check the hairline.
Where is the oversight BEFORE this kind of spending occurs?
Nice stunt. Too bad he didn't manage to play some rounds of Golf at a Trump resort
He needs to pay it back out of pocket
Imagine how much PPE this could buy that we could give to private companies to sell to the highest bidder
