The whole woke movement will end. Carville, a Democratic strategist said it best when he stated this stupid wokefulness is hurting the Democrats. They just dont see it yet.

Apologies. To me, one is a winner and the other a loser.

Normally I'd be inclined to just say "Ok, that's kinda stupid," shake my head, and that would be it. But it would appear Harvey Milk was dishonorable.

We should not be naming our ships and boats after dishonorable people.


I'd hope that pedophilia counts as dishonorable in your opinion.

I'd thought I'd made that pretty clear when I wrote "... it would appear Harvey Milk was dishonorable."

I wrote it that way because it's reported Harvey Milk was a pederast (pederast, not pedophile - there's a small, but not insignificant difference), but he was never charged, much less convicted of it.

We named a ship for Gabby Giffords, still don’t know why, but we pass by 13 heroes from Afghanistan and USMC Cpt. Jennifer Harris, another KIA. But at least we’re woke and nobody is tweeting mean anymore, thank God we’re saved.

They could have smashed a couple bottles of KY on the stern.

it's USNS, not the real Navy, the better food and living navy, yes. A few of us had to do TDY on a USNS ship, can't recall what they carried(not oil), but the food was great! We all put on pounds for our week there. The crew was all civilian.

We must have caught it in Subic which screwed with our liberty before heading back up to the line off Vietnam. Wasn't much for us to do, we were ops, but it was a test to see what having Navy on them might accomplish.
