one other thing is the idea of public perception of force preparedness of active duty forces. ie if your enemy knows that 3/4 of your sailors are in bed sick. notice we don't really hear about what the sick rates are in home or forward operating bases.

The captain wrote the letter because he was very angry with his chain of command and wanted to martyr himself. The leaking was done by him. As for whether he had a point or not, none of the reporting has anything close to the detail I would want to see before guessing.
