Re: Trials & suicide orders


I had a Commanding Officer who was under the impression that peacetime
and wartime standards were different.

One of his favorite phrases was, " If this was wartime, I'd shoot you."

I have no doubt that with his temper, it would happen.


Just for reference, his other favorite phrase was, "How can you be so
stupid?"  (How do you answer that one?)



He was a very unhappy man. He had a very unhappy crew. The Navy had
a localized retention problem but his relief was blamed.
