    So is he a hero? Or did he mess up?

    I think it's funny how people glorify certain whistle blowers and demonize others.

    Name a whistle blower who isn't demonized. Just funny is all. I don't feel like arguing about past whistle blowers so no names for now. That will derail this thread way too much.

    Gotcha.

    This guy seems to have support from everywhere but the bureaucracy, but again, I dunno.

    I saw some people saying it was dangerous of him to brake secrecy rules, but to be honest this story is not one I followed. I don't have a strong opinion on the captain. From the surface, he sounds like a fine chap.

    It was no secret where his ship was. I do believe it was literally docked in port at Guam. Look up @heypartner 's post about it if you want specifics.

    Not saying he did or didn't break the rules or anything (we don't really know who he talked to and how things went up the chain of command), but I can totally see where he was coming from.

    So once again you are just making **** up and got got called out.

    And now you are virtue signaling about derailing a thread.

    Typical.

    Really dude?

    The actual words were either naive or too stupid not maybe stupid.

    Modly told the crew that their former commander, Capt. Brett Crozier, was either "too naive or too stupid" to be in command


    You are the one disseminating fake news.
