At the very least the spineless CNO should have been more attune to the political landscape and had his first investigation board make up reasons to sack Crozier. Thus saving the CAPT from getting nationally disparaged twice. But then again I think people can see what this is and understand Crozier is, in fact, a great American.
Yep, At that level the chain of command is pretty short. No telling what ACTUAL conversations were had from POTUS on down. A pandemic is not something I would admittedly have expected to deal with. Senior leadership, attorneys, and the press are some of the biggest Monday morning quarterbacks known and its easy in hindsight to pick people apart.
