Hegseth renames USNS Harvey Milk. Now named USNS Oscar V. Peterson

[IM2]

Was Evers a medal recipient in the Navy? If not then its fine.

But they should also name a few of the future combat vessels like CUlture warships in Ian Banks novels: USS Frank Exchange of Views, USS So Much For Subtlety etc.

There is no need for these renamings.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

The next democrat admin will just rename it Ass Ass Astroglide.

 

[Blaster]

They will remove the rainbow flag from the ship.

 

[westwall]

There is no argument. The renaming was unnecessary.

Correct. But a huge DESIRE.

Sucks to be you.

 

[Concerned American]

There is no need for these renamings.

Nor was there a need to rename bases and tear down commemorative statues, eh?

There is no argument. The renaming was unnecessary.

LOL!!!!

You are much more pro homo and pro homO than most blacks...

He was not a pedophile. He was 33 years old at the time he had a relationship with a 16 year old. That doesn't meet the definition of pedophilia. A person has to be prepubescent to be considered the victim of pedophilia.

So he was a pervert?

Does it still hurt stepping on so many rakes?

Actually there was a need to tear down symbols of white supremacy and slavery, as well as rename bases that were named for Confederate soldiers.

Whites aren't the only people here, and some of the history that whites want celebrated was a history of oppression for others here.

Correct, that would be considered pederasty.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Correct, that would be considered pederasty.

Then I was guilty of pederasty several times when I was seventeen.

• Unit/Command:
  U.S.S. Neosho
• Military Service Branch: U.S. Navy
• Medal of Honor Action Date: May 7, 1942

Citation
For extraordinary courage and conspicuous heroism above and beyond the call of duty while in charge of a repair party during an attack on the U.S.S. Neosho by enemy Japanese aerial forces on 7 May 1942. Lacking assistance because of injuries to the other members of his repair party and severely wounded himself, Peterson, with no concern for his own life, closed the bulkhead stop valves and in so doing received additional burns which resulted in his death. His spirit of self-sacrifice and loyalty, characteristic of a fine seaman, was in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country."

Oscar Verner Peterson | World War II | U.S. Navy | Medal of Honor Recipient

Pete hegseth is a drunk and has no business talking about anything military.

Says the guy who voted for word salad queen to be the next president.

Renaming is also unnecessary on many objects, streets, and landmarks but that didn't stop Democrats.

Juneteenth has replaced MLK Blvd. Since the holiday was recognized, mass shootings occurred during every Juneteenth celebration.

Try not posting what comedians say. Especially when Chris Rock has said this about whites:

Chris Rock Says White People Are ‘Mentally Handicapped’ Abusers Who Don’t Understand Racism​

Chris Rock Says White People Are ‘Mentally Handicapped’ Abusers Who Don't Understand Racism

Chris Rock offered a metaphor about "mentally handicapped" white people being predisposed to not fully grasping Black folks' plight for racial equality during a recent interview.

Mass shootings have happened every 4th of July. So what's your point?

I don't care one way or the other if the ship is called Harvey Milk or something else. It's not a battle that I personally would have picked, however, Harvey Milk had a relationship with an underage boy. He's probably not somebody who should be martyred.

That aside, you aren't presenting a defense as to why the ship shouldn't be renamed. You're launching personal attacks the man who did it.

Okay, this is actually a rational argument. This kind of behavior would get you cancelled if it was a heterosexual.

But sweet evil Jesus, people, it was an Oiler, not a destroyer or an aircraft carrier.

Who ships or bases are named after seems pretty low on the "Military readiness scale".

Who are the shooters?
