Crimes of Command

@KaurinShanks The excesses of Tailhook weren’t universal. But, their acceptance by leadership was something else. There’s the macro Navy culture. Then there’s the subculture of flag officers, and another subculture of 3 and 4 stars. And retired flags…all of which drive macro culture.

@KaurinShanks People like us do things like this = culture

But not all of us do things like that.

But when an organization acts in bad faith like this, I'm always left wondering why.

What isn't known yet?

What was the thought process on playing it cute?

Why not just be honest with everyone?

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The root of every spiritual error is believing ourselves to be righteous. To consider ourselves righteous is to leave God, the only righteous one, out in the cold.

Should the Navy staff have an ethicist? One of the many questions CDR Christopher Nelson discussed in "On Obedience: Contrasting Philosophies for the Military, Citizenry, and Community" with author @KaurinShanks of @NavalWarCollege

There is a clear link between the US Navy's post 1980s approach to accountability and the modern cancel culture.

This story took many months of work. It's a story about war and PTSD, but also about our noxious, partisan political climate and how it hurts real people who deserve so much better.

@KateChief what doesn't? If Baker doesn't get his promotion, then we'll see. But, I also suspect the problems were higher than him.

[Crimes of Command @crimesofcommand]

"The investigation did not fault Crozier for sending...but faulted him for not having all the facts in hand, leaving off people that needed to see it, and not warning Baker in advance that he was sending It."

Yet Modly complained it was sent to too many...

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

Breaking: In major reversal, Navy has decided to fire carrier captain Crozier who warned about spread of coronavirus aboard ship, reversing the findings of a preliminary investigation recommending he be reinstated. @ZcohenCNN @rabrowne75 reporting.

@laraseligman @CrispinBurke @connorobrienNH The moral cowardice of our senior military leadership really is breathtaking.
