This was not a civilian captain. There are consequences. Even when you do the right thing,it can be wrong if you have not followed protocol.

He was not wrong for bypassing leadership who were ignoring their duty but the Trump administration and his supporters disparages the man ?

the only official in the entire government who has been publicly disciplined to date for mishandling the coronavirus is a Navy officer who acted to save his crew from an outbreak. This makes no sense save in the upside-down moral universe inhabited by the Trump administration.

the New York Times reported that Esper had “urged American military commanders overseas not to make any decisions related to the coronavirus that might surprise the White House or run afoul of President Trump’s messaging on the growing health challenge.” This was a dismaying directive that seemed to put politics above force protection

“I didn’t want to get into a decision where the president would feel that he had to intervene because the Navy couldn’t be decisive,” Modly

Yet Trumps administration and supporters support the of pardoning personnel who have been accused, and even convicted, of war crimes. ???
