WASHINGTON — 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.
Capt. Holly Graf was relieved of her command of the cruiser USS Cowpens after an investigation substantiated crew allegations that she was abusive and used her position for personal gain, naval officials said Thursday...
Drag racing? I guess the Commander-in-Chief, after personally directing every step of the assassination of those pirates, couldn't have given them more specific orders???
A Navy inspector general report said investigators had substantiated that 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.
Profane language?? OMG! You mean she was cussing like a sailor??? I get the vapors just thinking about such things!
C'mon! She was just trying to be one of the guys!
Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where she had them. They laughed at her and made jokes but she proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and she'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Cowpens out of action!
(Actually, the Navy may have done her a huge favor! Who wants to be known as the captain of a ship called "Cowpens"?)
I guess she just couldn't pass the Navy's Holly Graf test! Heh.
