“....there is no, NO, situation where you go to the media. B/c the media has an agenda & the agenda....depends on which side of the political aisle they sit & I’m sorry that’s the way the country is now but it’s the truth & so they use it to divide us...” ActingSECNAV to crew.
This is the lesson they want these young sailors to take from Capt. Crozier's firing. And this is how young men and women in the military are being taught by military leadership to think about the free press.
Pushing back against Cpt. Crozier's statement that we are not at war, Acting Secy Navy says: "the only reason we're in this situation is b/c a big authoritarian regime, China....wasn't forthcoming."
It cannot be appropriate for the Acting Secy Navy, in his remarks to over 1,000 sailors on the Teddy Roosevelt, to specifically reference and critique the remarks of presidential candidate Joe Biden (who derided the decision to fire of Cpt. Crozier).
