Mel, just flip to the page in the navy manual of regulations and let us all know what the proper number is for the number of people in the navy that you can appropriately CC in one letter.

Yeah Mel, be sure and let us know what it is when you can articulate it...

Mel, Since you were given the opportunity to articulate your rationale for whatever it is that you think you're trying to say, and you couldn't do so, I'll provide you another perspective on this mess:
The acting secretary of the navy removes and reassigns the captain because he CC too many people, all of whom are in the navy, and then this same acting secretary gets on public conservative talk shows to provide his own opinion for doing so on this biased venue.
We'll, of course, have to wait see how all of this holds up to a congressional investigation.
Now for Biden's take on it:
"Donald Trump's Acting Navy Secretary shot the messenger — a commanding officer who was faithful to both his national security mission and his duty to care for his sailors, and who rightly focused attention on a broader concern about how to maintain military readiness during this pandemic," Biden said in a statement to Reuters.
"And the Navy sent a chilling message to the rest of the fleet about speaking truth to power," he said. "The poor judgment here belongs to the Trump Administration, not a courageous officer trying to protect his sailors."
Can't wait read your one sentence reply...

The captain's screwed again:

"Several senior military officials, including the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Mike Gilday, recommended against Modly's decision to fire Crozier before an investigation into the matter was complete and in the midst of an evacuation, two US officials tell CNN."
"A defense official familiar with Modly's remarks offered his opinion of Modly's address, saying the acting secretary "should be fired. I don't know how he survives this day."
Modley descends to the level of pushing personal attacks against the captain who is being reassigned as he fights the coronavirus. Another conservative turd who ought to be on Fox news with the rest of those freaks...

Now the smuck apologizes:

So Modly pulls a major Melvin and shoots his moronic mouth off which winds up leaked. Now, Trump says HE'S going to look into it. What could be worse than that? We'll all have to wait until Fox news tells him what to do...

The Trumptoid's gone!

This kind of irony only writes itself.

Here's where our "public information" will be coming from:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/07/politics/white-house-press-secretary-coronavirus/index.html

“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.”
That's what happens when you ask for help in the Trump era...
