If hes a carrier captain he was being groomed for admiral.
Now he'll get it sooner
In normal (non-Trump) times I'd say the Captain's career was over, without question.
However, the Trump administration has perpetrated one outrage against the military after another.
Trump ranting and humiliating the senior officers in the Pentagon's "tank," (that was when then-SecState Tillerson called Trump "a f**king asshole").
Undermining discipline by sticking up for a petty officer who had committed war crimes, causing the Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer to resign in protest.
Deciding to cut and run on our Kurdish allies, causing General Mattis to resign in disgust.
Childishly revoking former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance because Brennan dared to criticize him, causing Admiral McRaven*to resign in protest. McRaven published his resignation letter, which said in part,
"Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.
Like most Americans, I had hoped that when you became president, you would rise to the occasion and become the leader this great nation needs.
A good leader tries to embody the best qualities of his or her organization. A good leader sets the example for others to follow. A good leader always puts the welfare of others before himself or herself.
Your leadership, however, has shown little of these qualities. Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
So is there sufficient resentment in the military to stick it in Trump's eye? Or are the ranks sufficiently infiltrated with Trump loyalists that they'll make sure Captain Crozier is cashiered? We'll see.
