US NAVY Captain Brett Crozier, who was fired as commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after his memo about a coronavirus outbreak was leaked, was given a hero’s sendoff by his sailors. Hundreds gathered to cheer and chant “Captain Crozier!” as the officer saluted, waved to the crowd and walked alone down the gangway to a waiting car. Crozier’s memo to Navy leaders warned the outbreak that had infected 100 sailors could spin out of control. The Navy said it was firing him because it had lost confidence in his ability to command and because he didn’t go through the proper channels to raise the alarm. Tell me what you think
