Navy official punishes critic Crommelin for defiance
The Navy will furlough Captain John G Crommelin indefinitely at half pay effective April 1 for continued actions prejudicial to the service. Crommelin has long criticized Pentagon policy and the joint chiefs system, blaming Army and Air Force leadership for weakening the Navy. He vows not to quit and remains a forceful advocate of naval power. The action follows his recent public criticisms and a February 21 order restricting him from commenting on Defense Department officials.
