Navy secretary's USS Theodore Roosevelt speech triggers lawmakers' calls for his firing

---

He broke the cardinal rule... be brief, be bold, and be gone. He meandered on about politics, whining, justifying his decision, etc. It was a weird speech. He would have been much better off saying he made the decision based on the best interests of the Navy, that he had the sailors well being in mind, and that he would do everything in his power to ensure the health of the sailors improves so they can get back to the fight. The end.
