Captain Crozier

US Navy Captain of the ship Theodore Roosevelt.  Wrote a letter to his superiors pleading for immediate quarantine and disembarkation of his ship's 4000 sailors, since 25% of the ship personnel were infected with COVID.  He said that its ok to try to 'manage' the issue if we were at war, but in peacetime, we  owe it to our sailors to protect them.  

 

His letter got leaked and published in a newspaper - San Fransisco Chronicle.

 

He was just relieved of his command i.e. fired.  See the video below, shot as he left his ship, the men and women who served under him sent him off with cheers and respect.  

 

A real life Singham.  Banjo I thought garbage politicians treating honest officers in uniform badly and "transferring" them only happened in Bollywood and India. 

 

This guy will get a movie made about him.  And deserves to.

 

This is leadership. Service before self.
