U.S.S. Milk
Timothy Birdnow
Yikes! Maybe Hegseth wasn't the man for the job after all.
Hegseth orders Navy to rename ship honoring gay rights activist Harvey Milk…
Navy mulls new names for other ships named for civil rights leaders…
Oh, that really inspires soldiers and strikes fear in the hearts of the enemy! I suppose with a name like Milk and gay acttivism involved our enemies won't want to get too close after all....
Seriously, no navy ships should be named for civilians, especially civilian activists. I would equally oppose a ship named after, say, Andrew Breitbart, or Phyllis Schlafley. Great people but they don't deserve a ship and putting their names on one would be a dishonor to the Americans who have fought and died for this country.
UPDATE
Apparently Mr. Hegseth had a change of heart and subsequently stripped the ship of it's sodomistic moniker.

Why do you say "Hegseth wasn't the man for the job?" He never wanted Milk's name on the ship, ever, and this was his first chance to pull it. Did you not catch that?
Of course he'll be vilified for this, but he can stand up and say that Harvey Milk never had anything to do with the Navy. I, for one, would never want to serve on a ship named for him.

Dana, I was trying to be ironic butt rereading the post I realize it didn't come across. My bad.

There was a zinger of an article about this on Fox News, suggesting, among other things, that the ship ought to be named the Liberace. Martha and I laughed over that, but then said hey, Liberace had a lot of talent, unlike Milk. And the article said what sailor, twenty or thirty years from now, wants to be in some bar wearing a cap that has the name of the Milk on it, and he has to admit he served on a ship named for a fag? (Sorry to put it like that, but a Navy guy would.)
