I think you guys are missing it. What happened here is very simple. Crozier parked his ship because of the virus. President Trump knows this looks bad (because it doesn’t support the idea the virus is under control, everything is fine, etc.) So Crozier gets axed. End of story. This isn’t normal.
A senior officer on a command track embarrassed the service. Doesn’t matter why. He got bumped off the command track. That’s normal in every US military service.
