But I am shocked that this administration would bestow any honor upon a white man, living or dead.

For a second I thought that read “Obama”. The guy couldn’t even pronounce “corps” correctly.

The name will probably get changed in order to honor some trans hero who was called nasty names before the globohomos “fixed” the Navy.

I thought the real problem was we don’t have nearly enough of these vessels to counter China.

That “high speed transport” was actually a WW1 4-stack destroyer that was modified to carry troops to be landed during/shortly after an invasion. Here is the info on CPO French’s ship:

“The greatest generation.”
I don’t know about that, but they did their duty.
I’m called a “Boomer” and approaching the end of life.
I have no respect for the hippie generation Effing up our country.
At least we aren’t going to name an aircraft carrier Obama
Johnson, Nixon, or Clinton.
But USS Doris is not a aircraft carrier I’d want to serve on. Too politically correct.
