Was Trump right to back the firing of Capt. Crozier?
Trump Backs Dismissal of USS Roosevelt Captain - WSJ
WASHINGTON-President Trump said he agreed with the Navy's decision to fire Capt. Brett Crozier, the commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, after a memo in which the captain pleaded for help with a coronavirus outbreak at sea leaked to the media.
The president said Saturday that it was inappropriate for Capt. Crozier to write the four-page memo in which he demanded that superiors allow him to take the carrier to the port in Guam to offload sailors stricken with Covid-19, the pneumonialike disease caused by the virus. As of Saturday, 155 of the ship's sailors had tested positive.
Capt. Brett Crozier was cheered by fellow sailors as he disembarked the coronavirus-stricken USS Theodore Roosevelt. He was relieved of duty on Thursday after his superiors said he had lost his ability to lead.
