ability to lead, the standard explanation when a commanding officer is
removed.





Banigan has been reassigned to a desk job. Master Chief

I'm going to guess that there was a bit more to it than the goat.

So the CO was not only following a fine navy tradition, but the lead of Senator Harry Reid, who is alleged to keep a goat in fishnet stockings in his Senate office?

There has to be more to the story than a goat.
