USS Theodore Roosevelt commanding officer relieved of duty, acting Navy secretary announcesActing Navy Secretary Thomas Modly announced Thursday that the commanding officer of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, now docked in Guam, was relieved 'at my direction.' 'It unnecessarily raised alarms with the families of our sailors and Marines with no plan to address those concerns.' Just to be clear, the entire Trump administration still doesn’t have a fucking plan!!! He has the courage of his convictions. Kudos to the captain! He may be relieved of his command, but at least he can live with himself. So this Patriot, who was looking out for the safety of his crew was removed because of Trump's incompetence. Once again Trump proves he doesn't care about our military. He didn't care about the men and women serving on that ship. Makes you wonder how many more he will sacrifice.

Brett Crozier of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, it was unwarranted, reckless in its timing and petty in appearances. And Modly's decision could have a chilling effect on other commanding officers in similar circumstances. johnfkirby63 Opinion He knows lose lips sinks ships. I understand his concern for the crew, a good skipper. But telling the boogereaters you are dead in the water is putting the ship and entire crew in danger. He’ll be lucky if relieved of command is all he gets. johnfkirby63 Opinion djt can hand russian operatives top secrete documents in the White House, and you are all cool with that. johnfkirby63 Opinion Different rules in the military.
