What has she done, apart from being a victim?

Honestly, to me, that is enough. She was shot because she was serving her country. I might not agree with the exact form that service took, and I certainly don’t agree with all of the ideas she expressed in that, but to me that is the bottom line.

I don’t see any reason to name a ship after her - thousands of others have been shot in the service of their country who will never get anything like that level of acknowledgement, but in a world where there are crazy people who will go after a politician just because they are a politician, I do think there is some courage and honour in choosing that path if you do it because you want to make your country better (whether I agree with what you want to do or not).

Fully expecting and even welcoming any negative comments that come my way on this. But I think one massive problem in modern politics is a failure to respect everything about our opponents, just because we have real disagreements with them on some issues.
