You mean all those soft fatasses in rumpled civilian garb in the video from Guam? The same ones crying when Captain Faintheart walked off. Those are leakers? Not surprised. They need to take the smartphones away, because now their Mommies are going to press daily with operational information, because "muh daughters says she is sick and will die if she is forced to stay on that ship." FUBAR is when a Captain of an Aircraft carrier violates every possible reg. because he is soft, and is a risk to our military readiness and national security stance. Crozier will be lucky if he is only cashed out, and does not up being court martialed. As to the dough puffs on that deck, they need more PT and a lot less screen time, and then reminded about their roles in the rank and file. Crozier made a big stinky mess there, before this incident. That much is clear.

I'm perplexed at how the media keeps reporting this (and even a WH briefing room reporter asking POTUS about it) as "Modly said the commander was naive or stupid". Ignoring the more significant part of what he actually said, which was

If he didn’t think, in my opinion, that this information wasn’t going to get out into the public, in this day and information age that we live in, then he was either A, too naive or too stupid to be a commanding officer of a ship like this. The alternative is that he did this on purpose.

Absolutely. China has already increased patrols in disputed waters.

Anyone know if that Vietnam shore leave was the captain's idea?

Agreed. Get a captain with balls in there, not some whiny milquetoast bastard.
