You still don't get it. The crew does not choose the CO. He's not the homecoming or prom king.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:58 pmNo, just Modly.old salt wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:16 pmYou insult the members of the military CoC & their civilian leaders, every time you assert or imply that they put pleasing Trump ahead of the welfare of the people in their charge or good order & discipline at all levels of the CoC.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 2:53 pm Salty, you dragged me into this discussion.
I simply said that Crozier was the kind of guy I'd rather follow into the battle than Modly.
Straightforward. Not a close call.
and you just can't let up with all the insults.
the constant posturing and chest thumping is indeed tedious.
You have tons to offer of real insight in this area, but to think your interpretations are therefore absolutely correct, unimpeachable by anyone else, well on that you fall flat.
I'm happy to discuss the details with you, but your automatic prejudgements, obsessive TDS, & failure to give the military CoC the benefit of the doubt makes that impossible.
You are incapable of discussion without somehow bringing Trump into the discussion. That's what is the most tedious.
obtw -- you might be suprised to know that a deployed carrier strike group is on a constant war time footing, constantly adapting to the potential likely adversaries in their area of operations.
He admitted to doing so.
I'll take Crozier over Modly any day of the week. So will his crew.
Any CO can make himself a hero by showing up the CoC in front of the crew.

Most insulting to the CoC was Crozier lecturing them on the need to look out for the sailors, as if he were the only one concerned for them. He really laid that on heavily.
