Navy dismisses USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier captain who spoke out about coronavirus response

So the first diagnoses of COVID-19 on the ship were March 24th. The letter was written March 30th and published March 31st. The captain has been relieved because he "showed poor judgment" in sending the letter to a group of 20 or 30 people, one of them might have been the leaker and leaking the letter “would be something that would violate the principles of good order and discipline.”

Sounds like a bureaucracy that sat on their collective hands for nearly a week is firing this dude to cover up their own incompetence.
