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.
Just who is this sailor you’re referring to?
Are you sure you have your basic facts correct wrt this sailor?
