Well, me too, up to a point.
But naming a capital ship the USS Ronald Reagan, or the USS George HW Bush, ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY GUARANTEES that there will be a USS Barack H. Obama and a USS William J. Clinton.
There's no room for discussion. He who says "A" says "B".
The USS Gerald R. Ford assures the USS Lyndon B. Johnson. The USS Carl Vinson assures the USS Nancy Pelosi.
I mean, how difficult is this to figure out?
I know. Heck, we have long named destroyers after people...which I think is appropriate.
But yes. You are 100% correct though...Hell, the USS Gabby Giffords??????????????????????????????????
Nauseating.
