What do you think of this popeye? Seems the CO might have handled this differently?

I really think that this was a security issue. By letting the whole world know, including potential enemies, about the disabling conditions aboard CVN-71. The communication should have remained within the chain of command. I do believe the situation aboard CVN-71 is unprecedented in the modern, post WWII, history of the US Navy.

Plus tens of thousands or more dead globally and at least 7 trillion dollars in cost to the US economy. The Chicom propaganda machine is already trying to spin this as a not China's fault story. Fukc them! There will be a lot of angry people staring these corrupt, lying Chicom dogs in the eye when this is over. If they think this will not come at a price, they not only dishonest, but also stupid.
