In connection with the situation on the aircraft carrier "Theodore Roosevelt" resigned Acting Minister of the US Navy

From the US come news about the next resignation, which relates to the situation with the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt. Recall that earlier in the US Navy Department it was decided to remove from the post the commander (in the American tradition - the captain) of the aircraft carrier warship Brett Crozier.

Crozier was removed from his post for contacting the Pentagon through the media asking for help in connection with the growing number of crew members who became ill with a new coronavirus during a long voyage.

Now the United States has decided that the one who removed Brett Crozier should also be dismissed. That person was Thomas Modley, the acting Secretary of the U.S. Navy.

According to the latest reports, Modley resigned "of his own free will." And this resignation, according to US media, was immediately accepted by US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

Esper announced that a new Navy minister has already been appointed. They became James MacPherson, who served as deputy secretary of the US Army. It is noted that before the appointment, Esper consulted with US President Donald Trump. Trump himself confirmed such consultations and noted that Modley made the decision on his own.

Meanwhile, the number of crew members of "Theodore Roosevelt" with detected coronavirus infection exceeded 200.

US media report that US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper immediately accepted the resignation

Meanwhile, the number of crew members of "Theodore Roosevelt" with detected coronavirus infection exceeded 200.

And if it happens that for some of the seafarers who were infected on board, the case will end in death, the Minister of Defense, apparently also will have to leave ...

Virus, in the USA, at the moment, chief. It is he who makes personnel decisions ...

[Shurik70]

Insanity grew stronger.
Dismissed the captain of the aircraft carrier.
The public decided that they had fired in vain.
They fired the one who fired the captain (more precisely, they found the last one).
BUT THE CAPTAINS WERE NOT RETURNED

Another coronavirus victim ...

Sorry, quickly fix errors ...
I would hold this Modli longer.
First-class pest.

What are the evil politicians in America. Horror) At us in Gazprom, in billions, they are profounding and nothing. They live quietly.)

[Lipchanin]

Esper announced that a new Minister of the Navy. They became James MacPherson, who served US Undersecretary of Land Forces.

Land Sailor?
How's the admiral in the outskirts?
Well finally

We have a commander of an aerospace motorized infantry and somehow it does not bother anyone.

In 2002 year graduated with honors from the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation [9].

Does any of the outlying "admirals" have such an education?

[Lipchanin]

Quote: pru-pavel

What does Ukraine have to do with an article about Americans?

And I wrote about the Americans

Land Sailor?

[pru-pavel]

I read about him. He is a lawyer by training. served in the army. Then he began to make a career in the army (including in the navy, in the underwater) in all kinds of lawyer and prosecutorial posts. His position is generally civilian and does not imply a rank, uniform or epaulette. Therefore so. This title does not imply any ranks or military service. Usually a minister (American secretary) has the title remaining after leaving the active duty. Nevertheless, they usually appoint those who still had experience in military service. Although usually quite a while ago

[pru-pavel]

By the way, MacPherson has the rank of rear admiral in our opinion. But Modley, his predecessor, apparently did not have any titles.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Who cares? There you need the experience of a sailor, not additional courses

[carstorm 11]

not necessary. it is a pure manager in their system. his field of activity is political games and, well, there is financial activity or, for example, public relations. providing in general.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

In them - yes, but the conversation turned to ours, Russian ... Or did you miss something?

Land Sailor?

our Minister of Defense (having a solid rank of army general) did not serve in the army at all, and a civil engineer by profession

[Lipchanin]

Quote: Gregory_45

we have a minister of defense (having a solid rank of army general)

And what kind of troops should the Minister of Defense be from?

[Grigory_45]

I mean, do not laugh at the destination. This is very close. Including ours.
Of course, the servicemen themselves take such appointments with hostility ("not ours")
But, I think this is not critical, if only the education and the qualities of the appointed person would allow them to fulfill professional duties at the level

[Avior]

Actually, he’s not from the army, but not from the army at all

Right, from the Ministry of Emergencies.

Ministry of the Russian Federation for Affairs civil defense emergency and disaster management. (EMERCOM of Russia) is a federal ministry with subordinate emergency rescue and fire services.

It is a federal executive body that carries out functions for the development and implementation of state policy, legal regulation, as well as for supervision and control in the field of civil defense, protecting the population and territories from natural and man-made emergencies, ensuring fire safety and the safety of people at water bodies [2]. Refers to state militarized organizations that have the right to acquire military hand small arms and other weapons [3

[carstorm 11]

This is true. only he has a huge term behind the head of the Ministry of Emergencies. and not just like that, but from the very beginning. and he came to Moscow with all this experience.

[pru-pavel]

Here you listen, it turns out the beginning of the fight against emergency situations implemented by Sergei Shoigu. Until 1991, they probably didn’t know what to do with them, so Shoigu came and set it all up. Wonderful of course. In America, these people are called Keanu Reeves and John Connors.

[carstorm 11]

what does it have to do with it? talk about creating a structure that works and is effective. until the age of 91 and they knew and so on. but everything had to be done in a new way and he dealt with it

[prior]

An indisputable fact was the political and military strength of the coronavirus:
in Russia, he defeated several governors in the struggle, and in the States, aircraft carrier commander and Brett Crozier, and even Acting Secretary of the U.S. Navy Thomas Modley.
Small virus, but how strong!

[aszzz888]

Poked around // the virus in the crew of Comrade Roosevelt, and put it out of action.

[hydrox]

I would have put a couple of pluses for the commentary on creativity!

Not just me, the liberda does not like you either ...

[Mytholog]

Sorry, sorry. Such a priceless shot.
How much more harm the American Navy could bring)

[Vasyan1971]

Now the United States has decided that the one who removed Brett Crozier should also be dismissed.

As in the mafia, the ends are chopped so that the main boss remains all in white.

[knn54]

The Pentagon got rid of the acting Minister of the Navy. Too quickly, given the appointment of a new candidate. Everything happened.

[rocket757]

C'mon, this is absolutely THEIR CASE!

[Doccor18]

I do not respect mattress covers, but the Fleet rules the ball. Because of the captain of the ship, the ministers will not be removed from us.

[APASUS]

In the course, the commander of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt Brett Crozier did not want to be (a scapegoat) and spoke through the media. I doubt that the Pentagon knew anything about the epidemic, they just didn’t react

[Ros 56]

But what a sadness to us, well, he left and left, or he left him. We will not cry and hairy.

[PalBor]

He didn’t quite leave. The day before the statement, he was still walking naked. Well, put things in order.
In fact, Captain Crozier was respected on the aircraft carrier, everyone lined up and chanted his name as he left. And then some minister, a bureaucrat arrived and began to insult their beloved commander through internal communications, calling them a "stupid traitor" ... The sailors leaked the record to the press and immediately the Minister of Defense suggested writing this frame on his own.
I just remember the situation when Serdyukov insulted and mocked the airborne officers, including the Hero of Russia. Interestingly, at least someone at least scolded him?

[askort154]

It is noted that before the appointment, Esper consulted with US President Donald Trump.

What a consultant from him now. He himself does not know whether the coronavirus will let him into this chair a second time or not.

[Avior]

Crozier was removed from his post because he through the media appealed to the Pentagon asking for help in connection with the growing number of crew members

What time already discussed
He did not apply to the press, he wrote a letter about the need to expedite the provision of quarantine - and so it was carried out in parts - to his naval authorities, but at the same time leaked information about the letter among the crew.
The crew wrote approval to the commander in social networks, from there the journalists learned and wrote an article in the Chronicle, I have a link somewhere in the posts, anyone can read it.
Formally, the aircraft carrier’s commander was removed precisely for the leak of information.
The stupidity of this became immediately clear - a wave of signatures in support of the sailor rose in the States, we see the result in the article.
And if someone from the crew dies, then the minister seems to follow him.

[faterdom]

In fact, the aircraft carrier must also be flooded, since the virus can live very long on different surfaces ... Otherwise, who wants to serve on it?
Quarantine is a harsh thing, there’s nothing to break here!

[Mebius]

the number of crew members of "Theodore Roosevelt" with detected coronavirus infection exceeded 200.

Are there dead people or, as always, there are no losses ..?

[lot]

Well, everything is worthy. As we have with Serdyukov.

[Lamata]

According to the officers, a captain, a man, entered.
