The scandal with the commander of the aircraft carrier “Theodore Roosevelt” continues in the USA. He was stripped of his rank after he asked for help from the command because the coronavirus was spreading across the ship.
The problem was that the media found out about the situation. The commander was immediately fired.
There was a preliminary hearing, which recommended the head of the Pentagon, Mark Esper, to reinstate the officer.
But he took his time and appointed General Mark Millie, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to conduct another investigation.
At the same time, the highest levels of the Ministry, despite the absence of a criminal record, would be happy to have nothing changed and the post would not be returned. But they did so for the benefit of the political leadership.
Donald Trump himself can take advantage of this situation to improve his rating. The main thing is not to delay the situation and not to collapse its popularity even lower.
