Four More
Sailors Punished
Over
U.S. Navy Destroyer Collisions
So why do I care?
Just like in
the movie
(White Christmas)
I believe the
every shipmate under the rank of chief petty offices, every father, mother,
grandparent, brother and sister in the United States of America, Must Care!
Why?
If we cannot
trust our family members to those chiefs and officers they serve. Our whole
Navel
System will crumble in corruption".
To me
it
looks like it has already started!
Under the
uniform code of military justice, former Fitzgerald commander Cmdr. Bryce
Benson and former McCain commander Cmdr. Jessie L. Sanchez face charges of
hazarding a vessel, dereliction of duty and negligent homicide, according to
the Navy. The two men were relieved of their commands shortly after the
collisions involving each vessel last year, and they will face an Article 32
Uniform Code of Military Justice hearing this spring. Two lieutenants and one
lieutenant junior grade from the Fitzgerald will face the same charges, and one
Fitzgerald chief petty officer faces charges of dereliction of duty.
The U.S. Navy
has announced administrative penalties for four more sailors over the
collisions involving the destroyers USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain last
year. The service says that 17 individuals have now been tried under the no
judicial punishment process in connection with the two deadly accidents.
