    Default Military cheering a true hero

    Navy Capt. Crozier, fired for letter about coronavirus on USS Roosevelt gets big send-off from sailors


    Videos posted on social media showed a huge send-off for Navy Capt. Brett Crozier, the commander of an aircraft carrier who was ousted Thursday after sending a letter pleading with Navy leadership to protect his crew from the spreading coronavirus.

    One video from the Facebook account of Michael Washington shows hundreds of service members on the hangar deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which is currently docked in Guam, chanting "Captain Crozier! Captain Crozier!" and clapping.

    Someone in the video says, "and that's how you send off one of the greatest captains you've ever had," and adding "The GOAT [Greatest Of All Time], the man for the people."

    Crozier was fired just four days after he pleaded for help as the coronavirus

    Saw the video, and how he turned around to them and waved. He'll remember that all his life. He IS a hero.

    He endangered his troops and national security by allowing his letter to become public knowledge. A major security blunder.

    78 years ago, great admirals like Bull Hawlsey sailed in the same waters. This panty waist endangered the lives of his crew and a 3 billion dollar carrier by leaking a letter to his hometown newspaper.

    He has been terminated for violating OpSec. He didn’t just send his concerns up the Chain of Command. He leaked his memo to the media.
