The more we learn, the clearer it becomes that Captain Brett Crozier should be reinstated. He was executing his command responsibility of protecting his personnel. And he was right.

Final price tag: $6,946.19 per flight hour — and Modly's resignation.

These sailors know their Skipper sacrificed his career to get their sick shipmates evacuated to safety. They appreciate their leader.
