Good Lord.......Just hope Bean doesn't get assign to that one.

I guess that's better than USS OBAMA.

What did he do to deserve to get a ship named after him? How about naming one Chris Kyle? Instead they want to make one after a gay. Makes a lot of sense. Because we all know that fighting for gay rights and fighting on the battlefield to make us safe is the same thing.

It will be the USS Katlin Jenner next.

According to the article Milk served in the Navy as a dive instructor during the Korean War. Also, other ships of that class will be named after civil rights leaders.

They got a big laugh over this in the Oval Office. Watch for more of this over the next six months. They're having fun now.

[donner]

keep watching the tail wag the dog.

will this name prevent the ship from functioning? will it prevent the crew from serving with honor and doing their duty?
