re: Video of relieved Captain, Brett Crozier, disembarking the USS Roosevelt

I have no doubt the Captain’s heart was in the right place but he was the commander of a US Navy warship.For this to get out to the media was a huge mistake ,in my opinion.I was in the Navy (enlisted) and I was taught that the mission was more important than than the man.I kinda always understood I was considered expendable.Not necessarily a great feeling but it was what it was.
I don’t think China was going to suddenly attack us because a carrier was out of commission but I do think terrorists knowing this might have been emboldened to carry out an attack.
Part of our military posture is to give the impression to our enemies that we are on the alert at all times and that you attack us at your peril.
