That's a MAGA hangup.So, the military should honor gay rights activism?
I have this feeling that the whole thing is kinda arbitrary and Hegseth worrying about the name of a refueling vessel is simply culture war bullshit.
Ultra-extreme TDS.That's a MAGA hangup.
And nothing changes MAGAs.
MagaMericans are set in what they've always known you wanted. MAGAs are no lambs to be saved from the evil Trump. MAGAs are the same as Trump, since 2015. So this is nothing new.
On the other hand, he seems to be oblivious to the maritime mythology that renaming a ship brings bad luck.Wrong.
"In 1955, he (Milk) resigned from the Navy at the rank of lieutenant, Junior Grade*, forced to accept an "other than honorable" discharge and leave the service rather than be court-martialed because of his homosexuality." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk
*(equivalent to a First Lieutenant in the Army).
Bottom line, he did nothing in military service to deserve a ship of any size be named after him. Nor IMO anything during his subsequent employment and political career.
SecDef Hegseth is simply doing what he has stated, i.e. seeking to make the Military an organization for War Fighters, not social justice warriors.
Keep up the great work.Ultra-extreme TDS.
at the time the ship was named was he well known and respected as a civil rights figure? yes or no?A highly localized figure maybe and even that is questionable. There’s a lot of revisionism that paints him as some kind of gay rights icon but the only ordinance he took the time to craft himself was the so-called “pooper scooper law” which required pet owners to clean up after their dogs. The ordinance to prohibit housing discrimination was proposed by somebody else and he just sponsored it. Truth is that all he was famed for at the time was getting on Dianne Feinstein’s nerves.
Actually, I do not keep a desktop computer by the pool. At the moment, I am inside the house enjoying air conditioning and a hot cup of coffee.You must be sitting by the pool.
Ultra-stupid MAGA bumper sticker bullshit.Ultra-extreme TDS.
Watch that boat's morale and efficiency soar when Pete renames it "USNS MIGHTY ALPHA WARRIOR MALES NOT COMPENSATING FOR ANYTHING"I have this feeling that the whole thing is kinda arbitrary and Hegseth worrying about the name of a refueling vessel is simply culture war bullshit.
They'll install those stupid truck testicles for anchors.Watch that boat's morale and efficiency soar when Pete renames it "USNS MIGHTY ALPHA WARRIOR MALES NOT COMPENSATING FOR ANYTHING"
They'll install those stupid truck testicles for anchors.
Also, the whole point of having a military is to kill the enemy should the situation arise. There's nothing about being gay that prevents you from killing the enemy. Also, wasn't the greatest general in recorded human history gay?
More like homosexual intolerant.Apparently Secretary Hegseth is lactose intolerant.
Liberal bigots hate mainstream society.He didn't get a honorable discharge because of conservative bigots.
It's About the same thing.Milk did not receive a Dishonorable Discharge. Facing possible court martial simply for being gay, Milk accepted an Other Than Honorable discharge.
Harvey Milk: Veteran
This June the National Archives is commemorating National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month, which honors the important contributions that LGBTQ+ Americans have made to U.S…prologue.blogs.archives.gov
For being a civil rights figure
In a class of ships named after civil rights figures
But what is the whole story.Harvey Milk was denied the opportunity to complete his service by gay hating bigots.
Pete “Whiskeyleaks” Hegseth is choosing to dishonor Milk and all gays who serve during pride month to virtue signal to all the gay hating bigots still alive today.
Liberal bigots hate mainstream society.
They are constantly working to destroy it.
When the Progressive bigots get everything that they want it becomes a dystopian nightmare.
As we can all observe mainstream people fleeing from the Blue cities and states.
The crazy Left Wingers claim to be the open minded and tolerant side, but they hate a lot of people because of their race, religion, region, and economic class.
It is a huge myth that Liberals are tolerant people.
only to homophobic right wingers.It's About the same thing.
was he? do you have any evidence he was?But what is the whole story.
Was be hitting on straight men?
That is what gets a lot of Gays in trouble in the military.
