I didn't have the characters to provide an opinion in my initial post on this. Obviously, blowing up boats and murdering their occupants while claiming they're drug runners is an insane thing to do.
The CG has been conducting drug interdiction for decades without resorting to just bombing boats.

I hadn't seen this, thank you! It appears to echo what I've said at first glance (changes mostly since 2023, things are improving, there's still a ways to go) but I will be giving it a more thorough read. Appreciate the additional context.

(7/7) The CG still has a long way to go when it comes to dealing with sexual assault, and any movement towards accountability and justice is a good one. But this seems like a way to virtue signal and to legitimize a previous questionable decision - the removal of ADM Fagan.

(6/7) I can't claim to know the CG's reasoning for releasing this statement and claiming ownership for these changes, but I do have to wonder if it is an attempt to legitimize the removal of ADM Fagan by claiming programs previously in place as new and improved.

(5/7) As one of his first actions in office, Trump removed ADM Fagan as the Commandant. The cited reason was lack of confidence due to how she handled Operation Fouled Anchor. And yet, the current CG leadership is claiming credit for her victories in working towards accountability.

(4/7) In fact, the Directed Actions that the current CG leadership is claiming ownership of have been in place for years, and many were completed in the 2023-24 time period, under ADM Fagan. Here is a list:

(3/7) However, I believe it is important to clarify that these positions, and the upcoming updates to the CG's sexual assault policy/SAPRR program, have been in the works for quite a while, including under the previous Commandant, ADM Linda Fagan.

(2/7) At first glance, this email does not appear to include anything new. The CG is reiterating that sexual assault is not acceptable, and stating their commitment to prevention and response to sexual assault cases. At face value, this is positive.
