Acting Navy secretary offers to resign over handling of virus-stricken aircraft carrier
It is unclear whether Defense Secretary Mark Esper will accept the resignation.

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly offered to resign on Tuesday following an uproar over a profanity-laced address to the crew of the coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt on Sunday, according to a senior defense official with knowledge of the matter.
Modly submitted his resignation letter to Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Tuesday after meeting with his boss one-on-one, that official said. Neither Esper nor the White House pressured Modly to resign, the official said, and it is unclear whether Esper will accept it.
A spokesperson for the Pentagon did not return requests for comment.
Modly's offer caps an extraordinary 24 hours following the Monday morning leak of the acting Navy leader's address to the crew of the Roosevelt while the ship is tied up in Guam. Modly, who fired the ship's commanding officer Capt. Brett Crozier on Thursday, late Monday was forced to issue an apology to the crew after calling Crozier's decision to send a letter requesting assistance to a broad array of Navy personnel "naive" and "stupid."

Modly, who fired the ship's commanding officer Capt. Brett Crozier on Thursday, late Monday was forced to issue an apology to the crew after calling Crozier's decision to send a letter requesting assistance to a broad array of Navy personnel "naive" and "stupid."
Modly's remarks, which sailors recorded and leaked to the media on Monday, prompted more than a dozen members of Congress to call for Modly's resignation.
"I want to apologize to the Navy for my recent comments to the crew of the TR,” Modly said in a statement Monday night. “Let me be clear, I do not think Captain Brett Crozier is na?ve nor stupid. I think, and always believed him to be the opposite.”
The apology came just hours after Modly doubled down on his remarks, issuing a statement saying he stands by "every word."
The turmoil began after a virus outbreak forced the Roosevelt, which was deployed in the Pacific, to dock in Guam and begin quarantining sailors from the ship. Crozier sent the letter asking for help from Navy leadership on March 30, and Modly fired Crozier three days later over his decision to email the letter to several Navy personnel rather than using official secured channels.
In the letter, Crozier urged "decisive action" to remove the "majority of personnel" from the carrier.
“We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die," Crozier wrote. "If we do not act now, we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset — our sailors.”
Upon firing Crozier last Thursday, Modly told reporters that the Navy was already surging people and resources to help the ship fight the outbreak. Modly had also offered to give Crozier his cell number so he could get the ship what it needs.
“I could reach no other conclusion that Capt. Crozier had allowed the complexity of his challenge with the Covid breakout on the ship to overwhelm his ability to act professionally when acting professionally was what was needed at the most at the time," Modly told reporters on Thursday. "We do and we should expect more from the commanding officers of our aircraft carriers."
Roughly 2,000 sailors have been moved ashore and are in isolation as the Navy tests the personnel aboard the ship. More than 150 sailors have tested positive for the coronavirus.
President Donald Trump signaled on Monday night that he didn't think Crozier's career should end over the letter asking for help from Navy leaders and describing the crew's condition in dire terms. Trump said he planned to "get involved" in the decision because "you have two good people and they're arguing."
On Crozier, Trump said that "the letter shouldn't have been sent," but added that "his career prior to that was very good."
https://atlbusinessjournal.com/its-hardly-shocking-the-navy-fired-a-commander-for-warning-of-coronavirus-threat-its-part-of-a-pattern/ 这篇报道写得不错，某种程度上也解释了舰长铤而走险的原因。节选一小节： As part of our 2019 investigation into the incidents in the Navy’s 7th Fleet, its largest overseas presence, ProPublica found repeated instances of frontline commanders warning superiors of risks the fleet was facing—a lack of training, exhausted crews, deteriorating ships and equipment. Those warnings, all sent through the normal chain of command, were met with indifference. 文中还举出了前几年的事例。舰长在走了 chain of command 之后仍旧被送上了军事法庭（因为出了事最后还是要找人担责）。
Under the spotlight, the Navy removed the Captain, and then posted a somewhat provocative video about it. Whether or not protocol was followed, the way the Navy communicated the decision, and the timing, struck many as inappropriate.
新任发言人Kayleigh McEnany 2016 年就因为作为CNN 常任嘉宾之一，为大统领倾情辩护而走红，然后入职网络某trump TV 做主播以及狐狸台嘉宾，然后这位美女又加入大统领连任竞选团队。现在作为政府官员，按道理不可以兼任竞选团队职务的。不过这届白宫当然不会遵守规矩。新任发言人还有名言，2月中上 Trish Regan 节目，号称coronavirus 不会在美国传播。Trish regan 好惨呐，居然被狐狸台开掉了。应该去白宫的啊。 we will not see diseases like the coronavirus' come to America

看来你对军界门清啊，这哥们本身就是替某位大佬当白手套出身的，估计现在从哪里来回哪里去了。。。
Modly这个白手套出身到海军部任职就是头上顶着一头屎，就这还有人去洗这头屎的，简直就是自己脑子有屎。
Modly开了几年直升机后，当了几年闲职。然后去国防部外包的一个公司当头儿，然后接着去普华永道做负责国防部外包业务的头儿。然后居然混上了海军代部长，这种资历在其他国家要被喷死了，这里一堆人还能来捧臭脚，难道说是传说中的又蠢又坏
🛋️ 沙发板凳
sorry is not enough的节奏啊！
一开始支持他。。。
后来他道歉了就说我们不懂英语。。。
现在他辞职了，怎么个洗法。。。
🤦🏻♂️
哈哈。。。
你们不懂政治！
Eddie Gallagher案被下台了
以前的部长因为Eddie Gallagher的事反对白宫做法被炒了。
给李文亮医生一个英雄的称号能弥补什么呢？把老百姓当傻子糊弄吗
哇洗成这个样子。。。
也是没谁了。。。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈😃
就现在那帮人？
这家伙倒是想拍马屁，可是在拍马屁的过程中把狮子惹火了。
川普很容易信任人，總是被他比較信任的人出賣。，可是我觉得他没像猪党辣么虚伪，他比较接地气，所以我今年还是会投他。
这跟水平没关系，跟胆子有关系。东条英机水平很高么？
同意
真是服了你， 任何的话题你都能扯到反川上面， 这也是本事。
这是被辞职
中国老百姓就喜欢这套 活该被tg当傻子糊弄
这家伙傻逼，想讨好蘑菇头，军方通过退休将领已经透出了这次做法的欠缺，y还得寸进尺
蘑菇头最多再干4年，军队生涯多长啊
在wm眼里，世上只有中俄北朝鲜领导人英明。欧美领导人都是蠢货。你举一个这次疫情中你看得上的欧美领导人吧
专信拍马屁的，拍马屁的只会坑人
你以为是中国共军啊，还军方通过退休军头？
大嘴要是这么容易被骗，那么是不是Modly说 either too naive or too stupid to become a commanding officer....的时候实际上是在说总统？
不肯拍马屁的，有不同意见的， 很快就被fire
现在对trump越来越失望。 感觉他跟习近平越来越像双保胎，习近平定于一尊， trump是顺昌逆亡
LOL
我不能理解。他一个地产摸爬滚打几十年的商人很容易信任人？怎么可能。
哇洗的清新脱俗。。。
学习了。。。
给你点赞！！！
。
洗地谁比得过睁眼说瞎话的左歪们？
就别谦虚啦
舰长应该遵守chain of command
对！
没follow，他到底说了啥政治不正确的？
我觉得也可以往巧合那个方向洗。。。
身体不好，所以凑巧这个时间辞职
毕竟我们不懂英语。。。
。

这是有病吗，怎么老是有人把别人说的话掐头去尾的呢？
新的洗地思路。。。
虽然代理部长错了。。。
可是舰长也错了啊。。。
全然忘了自己曾经在另一个帖子说代理部长道歉的帖子是假新闻没有链接。。。
一堆下面洗地的其实人家没有道歉是反讽。。。
川粉的记忆只有三秒。。。
还不如鱼。。。
就酱。。。
船长再蠢，好歹对于船员来说是恩人。
瑞一下。。。难得
对呀，川普最大的问题就是太善良了！
版主什么时候加黑名单名额啊，不够用呀不够用
清纯白莲花川大圣人
: D
.
还自己RE自己的贴。。🐷
这开在左边的脑洞不是一般大
蠢啊。。。
这川粉轮子还在隔壁楼说他骂的好。。。
骂的棒
骂的呱呱叫
。
这帮货的舔功跟飞盘胡可以有一比了，技术可能还犹胜之，就是知名度不行。川和习不愧是好朋友，手下的风格都那么像。
此外士兵感染也有他的责任
我觉得2月初美国军方就已经对疫情对全军通告了 其他几个航母舰队都要求与地面0人员交流 只传递物资 唯独这个航母出了大问题 去越南停靠，士兵分批上岸不说，当地人还能进入航母参观，这个心有多大？我觉得这个决定肯定不只是舰长一个人能做出来的，五角大楼的某些人肯定也支持或者默许了。当时可能觉得越南没什么病例
这个事故一查的话应该能查倒一批人 还有一个莫名人士真正把这个信件透露给媒体的 不知道是谁 不过这个要查的话也能查出来
赞
这其实说明五角大楼现在决策层也是混乱不堪的。。。
好端端的一个海军怎么能搞成这样。。。
.
别和五毛一般见识
里根号上面好像也有，外加需要维修，趴日本基地。
所以才是二战以来，第一次西太平洋美国航母空窗。
连个顶班的都没有。
目不暇接。。。
What a week。。。
.
军队讲义气不讲纪律那真就玩完了。那个被炒的舰长把好好的军纪给弄成哥们义气，只知道做好人，不知道治军严明，活该被炒。代理海军部长因为其他原因辞职不代表他fire 舰长这个决定是错误的，两码事。
恰恰相反，往往也就是这种讲义气的人，无论是navy 还是army, 遵守纪律（一部分原因是脑子一般）
多数情况下，navy 很听话的，甚至是盲从，do as what I said 那种
在大统领英明领导下，这个地球上最有影响力的政府变成闹剧真人秀的日常。。。。连白宫又换了一个发言人这种头条新闻都没排上啊。
此届白宫第三任发言人，stephanie Grisham 女士，就任将近一年，一次新闻发布会没开过。例行新闻发布会是白宫发言人的主要职责。今天她终于被取而代之，回第一夫人那里当管家去啦。她留下的主要legacy 就是作为发言人，创纪录的零发布会，以及被挖出以前若干次酒驾的mug shots.
新任发言人Kayleigh McEnany 2016 年就因为作为CNN 常任嘉宾之一，为大统领倾情辩护而走红，然后入职网络某trump TV 做主播以及狐狸台嘉宾，然后这位美女又加入大统领连任竞选团队。现在作为政府官员，按道理不可以兼任竞选团队职务的。不过这届白宫当然不会遵守规矩。新任发言人还有名言，2月中上 Trish Regan 节目，号称coronavirus 不会在美国传播。Trish regan 好惨呐，居然被狐狸台开掉了。应该去白宫的啊。
we will not see diseases like the coronavirus' come to America

而且是一模一样的话发在所有的楼，也不管逻辑是不是断档。
这话好符合另外一个著名的领袖呀
对啊所以川普是他哥们儿
你贴的这个跟本和军舰军队和这个帖子主题没关系啊
随便找了个材料copy上来了？这钱这么好赚?
你发帖赚钱的啊，厉害厉害
另外是没灌过水还是怎样？bbs 传统向来是楼主管开楼，灌水离题万里是常态。
您这是发帖赚钱成习惯了，不懂正常人灌水是娱乐休闲是吗。。。。
手打了这么些。。。
也没几个人看。。。
还被别人污蔑是复制粘贴的。。。
好可怜。。。
我来提一下这层楼。。。
安慰一下这层楼主。。。

老川说话也经常政治不正确
其他原因辞职？
