It's simply normal that an emotive panicker --and probably sneaky
leaker-- be demoted.

What's worrying is that a man with so little judgment could ever have
been appointed to command a CVN.
Whatever it's called, the Navy's "HR department" in charge of
selecting and vetting senior officers has a lot of self-examination to
do.

This time, their failure can simply be sorted out by a dishonorable
discharge or whatever, but who knows how many other unreliable
officers have commands beyond their ability?


Were the officers who told the press
about the My Lai massacre also "unreliable"?
Should that have been kept from the public
as well?
