Acting Secretary Thomas Mod Lee has just fired the captain for writing a letter, which was leaked to the media criticizing the military's response to a cof in 19 outbreak on his aircraft carrier.

Those images of cheering sailors prompted Mobley to fly to Guam.

Address the crew in a profanity laced speech over the ship's public address system.

If you didn't think that information was gonna get out into the public and he was a too naive or too stupid to be the commanding officer of a ship like this several times in the recording, you hear voices on the ship sounding disgusted with Mobley's accusations.

And I could tell you one other because he did that, he put it in a public forum.

It's now become a big controversy, so think about that when you cheer the man off the ship.

But now Mobley's apologizing in a statement overnight writing quote.

I do not think captain Brett Crozier is naive nor stupid.

He sent his alarming email with the intention of getting it into the public domain in an effort to drop public attention to the situation on his ship.

Just hours before his apology, Mobley said his message on the ship was spoken from the heart.

Meanwhile, President Trump last night said he may get involved in the matter, so the letter shouldn't have been sent with all of that said his career prior to that was very good.

So I'm going to get involved and see exactly what's going on there because I don't want to destroy somebody for having a bad day.

And as for Captain Crozier, he's also recovering.
