Dismissed U.S. carrier captain gets hero's ovation from crew
A brief clip showed Captain Brett Crozier walking down the gangplank of the Theodore Roosevelt as crew members repeatedly chanted “Captain Crozier, Captain Crozier!”
Crozier turned to wave at the crew after he stepped ashore in Guam.
The removal of Crozier, first reported by Reuters, was announced by acting U.S. Navy Secretary Thomas Modly, who said the captain of the nuclear-powered vessel of 5,000 crew members had exercised poor judgment in the way he “broadly” distributed a letter to superiors.

Unsurprisingly, the guy is a hero with the men he commanded. He acted to protect their lives and well being.
Trump went over the head of the military system of justice to return the rank of a war criminal. Surely he can do the same for someone who did something worthy of our respect.
