Hegseth intends to rename USNS Harvey Milk

[ncguy]

Were those ships named after people who were dishonerably discharged?

were they? who had a dishonorable discharge? milk didn't, as 2 seconds of googling would show.

its amusing that you are so quick to make incredibly stupid posts that reflect such hate and bigotry.

Apparently Secretary Hegseth is lactose intolerant.

USNS Harvey Milk - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

While I am not a huge fan of Harvey Milk, this is pretty much just sour grapes and vindictive.

Hegseth gave some bull shit about reestablishing a warrior culture.



Actually, just bigotry is all that it is.

The most fiercest armies were the...gay(or bi) ones. They, literally, conquered the world several times over.

Trying to explain why a ship is named after Milk to MAGAT bigots is a waste of time.

Acute TDS.

 

[MAGAnificent]

I think y’all need to tell those log cabin republicans how little gay rights matter.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Not every Naval vessel is named in honor of Presidents, MOH recipients, famous battles, etc..

True. At least big ship was named after a very effective WW2 admiral.

Milk was a crusader for gay rights/acceptance when being an openly gay public figure was dangerous all in itself. During his brief tenure in office, before being assassinated, he sponsored a bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations, housing, and employment that was signed into law.

Being a crusader for gay rights is not a reason for military honors. Honor him in some other way.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Became a city councilman, fought for human rights, and like Martin Luther King was assassinated for it.

Naming military after individuals is reserved for significant military deeds or be becoming commander in chief, not for civilian notoriety.

Huh?

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

 

[NuffSaid]

Why do you despise the sacrifice that Harvey Milk made?

It’s what MAGA do. Shit on service members.
Except Cadet Bonespurs.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Huh?

Ever heard of the USS Nimitz?

Objectively wrong claim.

Sailors from the USNS Bob Hope would disagree.

Or the USNSJohn Glenn,

Or the USS Gabrielle Gifford,

Or the USS Carl Levin,

Or the USNS Robert Ballard,

etc.

WW

 

[MAGAnificent]

Or the USNSJohn Glenn,

John Glenn was a lousy politician however had great military and astronaut acheivments.

Or the USS Gabrielle Gifford,

While i sympathise what happened to her, I would not have named a ship after her.

Or the USS Carl Levin,

Nor him.

Or the USNS Robert Ballard,

Nor him.

I am not suggesting that the latter three should not be honored in some way, just not by having military assets named after them.

Of course I have.

Our Navy has a lot of big ships. Several named for WW2 Admirals, including an entire class of destroyers.

Ofcourse they do. What are you arguing about?

Is Putin your pal? You seem obsessed with him.

Why isn't the DUI hire renaming those ships?

 

[Tangmo]

Popcorn is a unifying snack.

MAGAnificent and Hegseth The Horrible with Trump and Putin are the opposite.

Your post is a FAIL. It doesn't pop. A dud.

That's your MAGA take and MAGAs are always against Trump's critics. MagaMericans always give other MagaMericans a free ride. MagaMericans always attack Trump's critics and only.

Their favorite dead horse fallback is always "TDS." MagaMericans are hard pressed to defend Trump 2.0

Their Harvey Milk and USN thingy is a loser because only MagaMericans like it. Only MagaMericans like MagaMericans don't we know.

 

[Tangmo]

TDS.

Loving it I am.

The more "TDS" the better for the good guys.

Given the old and worn crutch "TDS" has long since been.

You can honor someone in any way for any reason. Show me the law saying that you can't name a navy ship after a gay politician. It doesn't exist.

MagaMericans are always wrong. I've never seen anything like it. After all I wasn't in Germany during the 1930s -- but I did hear about it I did.
