Office of the Chief of Naval Operations will be remembered as an indecisive leader who failed to show moral courage when history passes the verdict on his bumbling of the USS Roosevelt COVID-19 situation #ResignCNO #Justice4Crozier

My latest in Proceedings. Navy leadership failed to grasp the nettle and left the TR and Captain Crozier in the wind. #captaincrozier usni.org/magazines/proc…

This is an absolutely fantastic analysis of the logical and structural problems with the Navy’s investigation into the Roosevelt #captaincrozier RealClearDefense #USSTheodoreRoosevelt

OMG this made my day. I’ll let you off the hook: it’s satire. The comments by those who missed the point add to the experience.

Great conversation today with Guy Snodgrass and @wardcarroll about Captain Crozier. Looking forward to hearing the podcast on #HoldingtheLine! #captaincrozier #usstheodoreroosevelt

Had fun discussing #captaincrozier on #HoldingtheLine last week. #usstheodoreroosevelt

Another good Defense One article on the military’s role to support and defend the Constitution following op-eds from John Nagl, Kori Schake 🌻🇺🇦 @kschake.bsky.social and @jimgolby. defenseone.com/ideas/2020/08/…

Had a lot of fun yesterday telling the inside story of the Great Mule Caper (aka "Operation Grab Ass") with classmate Stephen Phillips Dr. Stephen Phillips at @usnamuseaum, when the USNA Class of 92 snatched all 4 Army mules from West Point. #BeatArmy #NavalAcademy naval-history-lyceum.simplecast.com/episodes/the-c…

If it was up to our military and diplomats, this young Afghan mom would be ushered inside with her kids, because she is a “United States Person” — “USPERS” in the parlance — but the Kandahari Taliban foot soldiers on the fence-line don’t recognize anything but a blue passport.

George Will, savagely correct. “Biden’s hasty and unilateral decision to abandon NATO’s Afghanistan mission has done more damage to that alliance than the strains of 45 Cold War years did.”washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

Unfortunately, this is NOT the last American out. We have delivered our own babies to the good graces of the Taliban. Not to mention out allies and partners. #HonorThePromise

Biden says we need to set "clear & achievable goals" in foreign policy. 2 weeks ago he set a clear & achievable goal of getting all the Americans out of Afghanistan. Now says, 90% is good enough. Before that, he set the goal of an orderly exit. Now, such exits are unachievable.
