Navy Captain Removed From Aircraft Carrier Tests Positive For Coronavirus | TODAY

[jessbecool]

This is so messed up! Hope he recovers quickly!!

[capriflorez]

My son that is on the ship he told me ur a HERO . God bless you captain.

[amontri]

He knew he had the virus, and realized he had to do something to protect his crew members he broke the chain of command to save lives

[tristanruby]

Navy captain Crozier dismissal- A lot like China whistleblowers punished for calling attention to the virus. Captain Crozier your a hero!!!!

[reallymariah]

He’s a hero. The Navy would have tried to hide this. Trust me. During Vietnam sailors we were fired on by enemy vessels but the Navy threatened us not to tell. BTW we were in Guam.

[carmellosown]

This former sailor believes the captain is a hero. He jeopardized his career to care for the well being of his crew. And then the acting NAVSEC flies all the way to Guam to address the crew and call him stupid. I can't even imagine the morale of his ship.

China has dr. Li Wenliang, and the USA has Capt. Brett Crozier...

[SirNickTheSavage]

Shame on the people who fired him he was just trying to save lives!!!! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[pablocruise]

Sooo, no help for our military by the president? I’m confused.

[Shadow__]

I hope Harrison Ford does his part on an upcoming movie.

[aprilginnyelvas]

Thats a true leader...wish he will be reinstated soon

[datruzepp]

Captain Corona, He's our hero. Gonna bring infections down to zero!

The San Francisco Chronicle should not hold the full text hostage for subscriptions.

[oo]

Bravo Zulu, Cap you watched for our shipmates instead of your career!

[driverjoelonghauler]

He messed up. Sorry to see this happen but I wonder why he broke the COC? This makes no sense and he knows better.

[thatrandomchannel]

He made a stop and let sailors off ship.

[RiskyNights]

If he dies the US Navy chain of command should be replaced wholesale, not just the acting Secretary

[smilingl]

The whistle blower, Bravo. Hope you're fine

[chrischris]

Did he not state in his message, this was not a disclosure in War time and was merely trying to protect his crew!?
Will the guy higher up the chain of command do the same (step down) after everybody analysis his tweets!

[charlesscott]

Forgive me if I shed no tear for this war mongering DB.
