Default Navy Captain Assaults Crew
Quote:
(AP) A Navy captain was demoted because she berated and assaulted her crew, not because she led her guided missile cruiser on a drag-race with another U.S. warship in the Pacific, an investigation shows.

I think forced retirement is in order here for this one, at the very least!

Sounds like she is a prime example of being promoted based on genitalia and not merit, which finally caught up with her since she showed her true colors.

From the comments on blogs, it seems like she has been showing her true color since her XO tour, but the Navy just didn't do anything. The debate is how much the Navy knew but didn't act.

Quite possibly

Pretty little thing isn't she?

Wait a second:
Quote:
Graf assaulted subordinates (pushing one, grabbing another and once throwing wadded up paper at another sailor) and that she regularly verbally abused subordinates by publicly berating them, belittling them and using profane language.
So? It's the military, isn't it? It's not like shot anyone.

My Dad didn't throw paper at me when I screwed up. He wore steel toes. I survived.

Not necessarily, abusing authority and being stupid at the same time tends to be a gender neutral activity.

Yes it is the military, the PC military of today. But at the same time she was an officer, and officers are alone held to a much higher standard of conduct.

Well I'm sure the US Navy can do without Captains kicking ratings with steel toe caps.

A simple case of someone in a position of power abusing their authority.
