If the Secretary was trying to make the crew mad as hell and ruin their morale he did a great job. He was just a whiny little piss ant complaining about the way HE was treated over his action. He got the reception he deserved from the crew.
Contrary to what he said, it is the best possible situation when the crew love as well as respect their captain.* When they do, and they know the captain has their back, they will follow him through the gates hell and die for the captain, their shipmates, the ship and the country, probably in that order, if is required of them. Morale on a ship is everything.
The captain had their backs and got fired for it, no wonder they are pissed. I'm pissed too!
* it is acceptable for the crew to despise the XO.
