There has been an interesting development is the saga of the firing of Capt. Crozier. The Pentagon is considering re-instating Capt. Crozier as the Captain of the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. Pentagon officials have said their investigation is now complete.

Quote:
The top Navy officer and defense secretary have the same message when it comes to Capt. Brett Crozier being reassigned to the job from which he was removed last week.
"We've taken nothing off the table."

That's what Defense Secretary Mark Esper told CBS News on Friday morning. On Thursday, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michael Gilday also said he's open to reinstating Crozier as the commanding officer of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.
"I am taking no options off the table," Gilday told The Associated Press. The CNO hasn't spoken to Crozier, the outlet reported, and isn't facing pressure from anyone about the investigation.

While an admission to a rush to judgement or mistake is not going to happen, this is as close as top officials will come to admitting they erred badly in their treatment and removal of Capt. Crozier.

Maybe they are starting to see the big picture.
