Defense Secretary Mark Esper defended the firing of the Navy captain who sounded the alarm about a coronavirus outbreak on board a U.S. aircraft carrier
Defense Secretary Mark Esper defended Sunday the firing of the Navy captain who sounded the alarm about a coronavirus outbreak on board a U.S. aircraft carrier, characterizing the commanding officer's ouster as an "example of how we hold leaders accountable."
Crozier was fired for writing a searing letter to Navy leaders notifying them of a spike in cases of Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, among sailors on the carrier. Modly has argued that Crozier did not follow the proper chain of command in reporting his concerns, which Modly claimed were already being addressed at the time Crozier sent his letter.
Esper also insisted that President Donald Trump did not order the captain to be relieved of his command, despite a"This was Secretary Modly's decision," Esper said. "He briefed me about it, and I took the advice of the [Chief of Naval Operations] and [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley] with regard to it, and told him I would support his decision."
