cnn's military and diplomatic editor retired rear admiral john kirby joining me now. good to see you, john. >> you, too, fred. >> that this inquiry is taking place now, why wouldn't the inquiry happen first and then see whether it merits removal? >> yeah, that's actually a great question, fred, and a terrific point, and it was one that i made in a piece i published on our website. it would have been better for the navy to have let this inquiry go forward, get a sense of the circumstances surrounding the miscommunications and the communications process in general on the "roosevelt" and then make determination personal actions. the acting subject decided to go the other removal first. i don't think we're going to find them delving into the removal decision itself. it will really be more about the command climate issues there on the "roosevelt." >> now that you have this videotape circulating of people cheering for him, you know, really advocating for crozier, it seems like that may be a bit of a challenge. i know as you mentioned, you wrote in an op-ed friday, you said
