The LA Slimes wants to report on military gear?

They hate the military. Still recall when they trashed them after a B-2 did a flyby for the Rose parade.

How can they possibly name a ship after a man who has the BLOOD of several USN types as a result of his handling/not handling the Liberty & Pueblo crises?

Twice that SOB that benefited from the VN war PERSONALLY ordered the US Navy to stand down when they went to rescue BOTH ships.

Now we name a ship after that frigging butthead?

What a turd. The Pueblo Incident has stuck in my craw for many years. My dad was an acquaintance of CDR Bucher, and we lived over in Yokosuka at that time. (My dad was the Security and Communications Officer on the base at that time)
