Casualty of War: Commander Leigh R. Tate?

Dear Folks, 

Do you feel sorry for the US Navy Officers Commander Leigh R Tate and Executive Officer Jeffrey E York of the USS Spruance?

Recently, it seems that these two officers have been “outed” by various embassies and news services for being in command of the vessel which fired three missiles at a school, ending the lives of about 170 school girls. Can this be true?

Of course, this cannot be good news for the two officers.

Are they not also casualties of the Israeli-American decision to bomb Iran, even when it was not in the interest of America to do so, from the beginning?  And, what is good for Bibi is seldom best for Israel, as well.

How would you be feeling, right about now, if you were Commander Tate?

As commander of a US Navy vessel, all responsibility resides with the captain.

Remember Wouk’s novel about the vessel, “The Caine”?

So then, who is responsible for the bombing of girls’ schools, really?

It is no-longer so simple to be a US Naval Captain.

Best regards,

Gamma

Note: I really feel so sorry for Tate, because....

He seems like such a happy person....
