Re: Navy to release USS Thresher records
It is really appalling when military officers become politicians:
"The Navy is committed to ensure the maximum amount of information is released, and we are devoted to you as family members of those lost to keep you up to date on the release," Vice Adm. D.L. Caudle, commander of the Navy's submarine forces, said in the letter to the Thresher families.
The article says that this only came about because of a lawsuit by a retired USN captain. There really is no need to use words like "devoted", it just makes their hypocrisy all the more repellent.
