This is a pretty good article about the situation.

Without Good Order and Discipline a military unit will fail.
NO ONE including myself, a Medical Officer, blames the Captain for looking out for his people, the point is, WE DO NOT NEED TO ADVERTISE OUR SHORTCOMINGS to people who want ill to befall us PERIOD
The source of this leak needs to be found and plugged up. It is possible the Captain’s letter was leaked by a low level person who had access to the letter. Regardless of the source, it must be found and plugged up.
The military culture is quite different than that in the corporate world. Unless you‘ve lived it by deploying to a forward undisclosed location, you probably won’t understand it. People’s lives depend on Good Order and Discipline.
I hope I have not offended or ruffled anyone’s feathers, but any breakdown of the chain of command is a recipe for disaster.
I’m curious what Seahawk thinks, since he was a Naval Aviator.
