Who is responsible for firing Captain Crozier from his job as commander of the aircraft carrier USS Teddy Roosevelt? Was it the acting Secretary of the Navy? Was it the current President of the US because the situation made him look bad? Was this something that had to happen while the ship was in the middle of dealing with a health emergency? The United States federal government’s response to the COVID19 pandemic has been a failure of leadership on a massive scale. For the same shallow executive branch to attack a Navy officer for displaying leadership to save the lives of his sailors is a degenerative moment set on top of many other failures. Right now the United States appears to be anything but united in the response to the pandemic. Vote 2020!
