Do I think the captain was trying to support his crew yes I do . Do I think he was honestly trying to bubble up the issue up the chain yes I do . But with the public release of his actions that crossed the line . The military works differently than civilian life . There are a variety of reasons for that some have been touched on here .

I saw on the news this morning he has spent 30 years in the Navy and was on his way to a promotion to admiral . My point is he knows the rules and regulations and decided to go around protocol , he's lucky he was only relieved of command .

As I am typing this I am not clear on who released the letter to the press . I am sure an investigation is in progress and we may never know the outcome .
