In 1898, Colonel Teddy Roosevelt wrote a letter to his superiors warning of how yellow fever & malaria outbreaks were endangering US troops in Cuba. It leaked to the press, and McKinley was furious but the troops were sent home likely saving their lives https://t.co/RbXlOF4sDH

I believe the term some of us old soldiers call this is a “cluster fuck”. But that’s me. I’m old. https://t.co/3j29waOX4D

The acting SecNav flew 8K miles in the middle of a pandemic to publicly criticize a ship captain, calling the captain stupid for making a statement that went public.

Would be happy if Crozier

Would be happy if Crozier told him to go fuck himself in a very torturous, physically improbable way.

Methinks the Drumpf just saw the video of the sailors cheering Crozier and it was like "ratings!"

Trump just hinted he may intervene to reinstate Capt Crozier to command of USS Theodore Roosevelt.

"His career prior to that was very good. So I'm going to get involved and see exactly what's going on there because I don't want to destroy somebody for having a bad day."

The captain was a fool if he wrote a letter and thought it wouldn't leak, said the acting secretary, to thousands of sailors who loved the captain, in a speech, which leaked. https://t.co/9poybgRi6I
