The captain sent an open communication expressing concern about some of his crew being sick and how it can spread easily in the conditions they are in. This was picked up by the media.

The sailors applauded him because they appreciated him looking out for them, but the truth is he screwed up big by exposing this weakness to the enemy.

Skipper was trying to be one of the guys..... Even the E-2's know he screwed up.

Yeah, I think this is one of those times that we don't really want to celebrate his firing without knowing if this was intentional.

However, everyone needs to remember that when Al-Baghdadi was killed, someone leaked it to Newsweek before Trump could officially announce it in the news conference the following morning. Could be someone in the middle who poisoned the well (I admit I haven't read the article yet because I assume some info is inaccurate).

He basically cc'd 30 other people in his letter to command, including his hometown newspaper. That's a big no-no.
