Thomas B. Modly, acting secretary of the navy, arrives in the Federal enclave of Guam to personally deliver a profanity laced rebuke to the crew of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, for their support of their disgraced former commander, United states Navy Captain Brett E. Crozier.  Modly fired Crozier for violating the chain of command, in reporting the COVID-19 crisis aboard the Roosevelt:

       If he didn’t think, in my opinion, that this information wasn’t going to get out into the public, in this day and information age that we live in, then he was either A, too naive or too stupid to be a commanding officer of a ship like this.  The alternative is that he did this on purpose. …

       NOTE: On March 23, the first day of the crisis, there were three reported cases; the next day that number had doubled to more than eight.  Three days later it had tripled to 24; a week and a half later that total had mushroomed to 155, and continued to grow.

       Questions:

• Did Crozier violate the chain of command because his superiors did not respond to his concerns in a timely manner?
• Is this how the Navy “takes care of its own?

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down kansas v. Glover: statute enforcement officers do not need probable cause stop “vehicles” (a legal term for “automobiles or trucks” bearing goods, services or persons in commercial transit) that are registered to unlicensed U.s. subject/enemy/citizens.
