Disagree. He created a tremendous risk to his crew by revealing their lack of readiness on the high seas.

Yeah he made some mistakes but you think he would risk his entire career for shits and giggles? He clearly made the decisions he made because he thought there would be a lot of deaths resulting from this virus on his ship. He didn’t think big navy was getting the message. So he went beyond his chain of command. Mission over people is one thing and opsec etc, but when the choice is have a ton of dead people on the ship you command or speed up the military’s reaction by going outside of the chain, well, it didn’t seem like it was a tough call for him to make.

He literally sacrificed his career over this.

A crew of sick sailors is not much of a deterrent.
So instead of addressing the issue, the Dept ignored his request for help.
It sounds like a typical peace time military response.
Ignore the problem, it will go away.
