An interesting take from National Review regarding the Navy captain and now secretary of the Navy getting fired because the captain wanted to evacuate his sick crew.
This issue has turned into a pro-Trump/anti-Trump thing and that disappointments me. I would have preferred the Navy continue to endanger the health and well-being of the gay Republican voters of the Navy and their dependents.
China could have been emboldened to start World War 3 or something if one American aircraft carrier wasn't nearby to get hit with an anti-ship missile. The Chinese would have had no idea the ship was filled with sick sailors if it wasn't for this captain.There’s no doubt Crozier’s preoccupation with the health of his sailors could have strategic consequences. For one, the Roosevelt was America’s only aircraft carrier deployed to East Asia. He took the risk that his actions might embolden an increasingly belligerent China and Russia by broadcasting that America’s most important military unit is operating with reduced effectiveness. Our troops are in harm’s way all over the world, and the Navy is already stretched too thin supporting those global operations. Crozier knew that his unilateral decision would force the Navy to divert units from elsewhere — possibly even to break quarantine — to fill the void in the Eastern Pacific. Finally, Crozier made the Navy’s chain of command look ineffectual and raised questions about whether America’s top military officers have confidence in their chain of command.
The peace of the world is mostly maintained by a bunch of homosexuals living on boats together.The U.S. Navy is the world’s most important geopolitical institution because it serves as the guarantor of global security. The global order that the Navy maintains ensures that maritime trade flows unmolested. It keeps Russian submarines off our eastern seaboard, China from seizing more of its neighbors’ islands, Iran and Saudi Arabia from all-out war, and oil flowing through the straits of Malacca and Hormuz.
