Hopefully he gets a minor slap on the wrist, an admin appointment for a few months and then another command.
“A minor slap on the wrist”?
He will never be given another command. That isn’t done when one has been removed. His Navy career is over.
Don’t be naive, he is not new to being an officer and fully knows how to use the chain of command. When the chain of command is deaf and unresponsive, and sailors’ health and well-being are at stake, the courageous commander does whatever it takes, regardless the personal cost. Just as he did.
Now his elected commander-in-chief has defended the SecNav’s move. Interesting how the president supports a Navy SEAL convicted of murder, rather than a commander defending his sailors. No surprise really.
