Just in time for Pride Month…

…Pete Hegseth decides to “review” ship names honoring Harvey Milk. Something makes me think there won’t be much of a “review” and that a change will be made.

I’m running out of words to convey how I feel about this administration. But Hegseth isn’t even a tiny fraction of the man that Milk was.

It was a really weird choice to name a ship after him. He is notable as a San Francisco politician and LGBT figure, not as as a military figure despite his service.

I feel as if marshal fships ought to be named after heroes, meaning men or women who have proven themselves worthy through heroic acts.

Harvey Milk was a victim; not a hero.

I’ll be glad when the next administration changes the name back. This bullshit is only temporary.

It had a different name for 100 years prior to being named Milk. I think the Milk name will be temporary.

And who cares? Not every single thing needs to be made into an LGBT celebration. It's okay for the military to commemorate notable military people. It's better, in fact, so that new service members can find good role models and learn their history.

The ship bearing Milk’s name has always had that name.

You think the Navy is sailing a 100+ year old oiler? What kind of moron are you?

Also, Milk was a notable military person.

To pwn the libs. It’s their primary goal.

Hundred bucks says they rename the USS John S. McCain as well.

What an insecure little man Hegseth is.

Hegseth seems like the type of man who would use the Twinkie defense.
