The u. S. Navy captain has been given a heros farewell after he was dismissed from his post for criticizing the navys handling of the pandemic captain breck c. E. O. Was cheered by his crew as you can see here and they still find photos of the commodity have been battling an outbreak of the virus on his ship and demanded that he be allowed to evacuate his sightless from the u. S. S. Theodore roosevelt more than 150 people have tested positive for the virus the navy dismissed him for not following proper protocol and allegedly causing panic by letting his complaint leak to the media. Report on the short has been following the story shes here to talk to us about a high whats been the reaction to this captains departure from the navy when it does depend on whether you look at the Navy Leadership or the servicemen and women who was serving under him hierarchies at all was very very important in any military organizing. Ation and if you look at the rank and file the crew members past now they have been tweeting very very positive things about this captain it seems like he was very very well loved for instance and theres some cool crew members tweeting their thanks to captain brett pros. Spouses of one of the crew members tweeting that he deserves a medal and then lots of other people saying that he is an american hero. And that theyre you know the tweets his is always quite easy to type easy to hit send and there are also a number of petitions that are going round right now 100 fold but one of them has got 200000 signatures and these petitions a calling for the captain president to be reinstated and so the situation right now on the u. S. S. Theodore roosevelt is that around a 3rd of the of the sailors have been evacuated and they are on shore at the moment so i mean it seems like he got his wish but almost at the expense of his job and the navy to ship said help was on its way already ok is there going to be any political fallout from from any of this well its hard to see where its going to come from to be honest members of the House Armed Services committee the democrats on that committee they said they should a statement when he was sacked they were saying that he it was wrong to sack him without a thorough investigation they didnt say it was just wrong to sack him period and they said he havent they havent investigated this situation enough and if this decision was taken too quickly the republicans on that same committee didnt make any comment and Bernie Sanders has has called for him to be to be reinstated thats one of the democrats president ial hopefuls but donald trump the u. S. President he wasnt very supportive in fact he took the side of the military leadership against captain crazy as you can hear in the sound bite he was quite critical of. I thought it was terrible what he did to write a letter i mean this isnt a class or literature this is a captain of a massive ship thats Nuclear Powered and he shouldnt be talking that way in a letter he could call and ask and suggest but he stopped in vietnam. A lot of people got off the boat they came back and they had infection. So it sounds like captain crazy has lost the backing of the commander in chief by the sounds of it yeah and its hard to see how he can come back from that i mean President Trump has intervened in matters of military discipline before and he has taken the sides of soldiers who are who are against the military leadership but listening to him just now i dont think hes going to do it in this situation.
