A small lesson in accountability

The Navy just shitcanned the captain and executive officer of the aircraft carrier George Washington because they ran a sloppy ship and that sloppiness led to a shipboard fire that delayed deployment by several months.
The two were fired because of practices on their ship that Navy investigators believe led to the fire, Navy officials said.

The Navy officials said investigators believe the fire was started when a cigarette ignited material stored in an engineering room.

Investigators found flammable liquids stored in an engineering area of the ship, which is strictly prohibited. Investigators also found that sailors were allowed to smoke in the same engineering areas, considered another violation.
The two officers may never have been in the areas in question. They may not have known what was happening in Engineering, but it was their ship and they are responsible. It only cost taxpayers $70 million, but their careers are in the shitter.

All I ask is that George W Bush and all his Band of Bastard Bushoviks be held to the same level of accountability.
