Generally if you're pleading for help, that means that there's insufficient support. I'm not sure what else you think is happening here, unless you're calling him an outright liar.
The final line of his letter was requesting more support explicitly. He wanted more lodging for his sailors so that proper quarantine measures could be put in place. The entire letter was a request for more resources and a change of strategy. That by definition means the current support is insufficient.
> Request all available resources to find NAVADMIN and CDC compliant quarntine rooms for my entire crew as soon as passible.
I read this as a new request for support for the "war free" plan outlined in the letter. Are you suggesting that he had already proposed this or another plan, but it was rejected or not completely fulfilled? If so, do you have a reference for this?
It would be useful if you could make it more clear what is your personal opinion/speculation vs publicly known. I'm trying to understand what happened.
> That by definition means the current support is insufficient.
In this context, that doesn't necesarily have to be true.
You seem to struggle with basic reading comprehension. This letter didn't come out of the blue. He had been asking to off-board Covid-stricken sailors for some time due to the impossibility of maintaining a distancing regime on-board.
