As it should be

That's what you get for doing Trump's dirty work.  And wearing such obvious hair plugs.

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly resigned Tuesday after fanning the flames of a controversy over a coronavirus outbreak on board an aircraft carrier.

[...]

Modly initially had Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s support in firing Crozier, but the fallout from his speech became too much to overcome.

After he was fired, his crew gave him a hero’s sendoff, clapping and chanting his name as he walked off the ship.

As of Tuesday, the Navy reported 230 cases of coronavirus on the Roosevelt after 79 percent of the crew has been tested. The Navy said 1,999 sailors have been taken off the ship as it is docked in Guam, with 1,232 staying at hotels.

Over the weekend, Modly told The Washington Post he stepped in to fire Crozier in part because he wanted to get out in front of any action by the president.

Before Trump did the firing himself, in other words.

[A] growing chorus of lawmakers was calling for Modly’s removal from office, including House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

“When I listened to the speech that acting Secretary Modly gave, it was almost like he was trying to do sort of a half-assed imitation of how Donald Trump would have given a speech,” Smith told reporters Tuesday in a response to a question from The Hill.

[...]

In a tweet, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he accepted Modly’s resignation and that undersecretary of the Army James McPherson will take over as acting Navy secretary.

Undersecretary of the Army? The sailors will be thrilled. Is there no undersecretary of the Navy?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
