I am not laughing.
I think this is a sick way to destroy military unit cohisivness.
Navy to name ship after pedophile predator....Obama’s america.
Bi-sexual Baby.
Check out Cary and Randolph Scott.

Tony Curtis.

Your post is more ironic than you thought.
So this will be my last attempt to respond... to your view that www.homohistory.com and a commenter's post on /www.imdb.com are undisputable sources of the entire lives of Cary Grant and Tony Curtis--
I agree with you! (Sorry about my tasteless joke.)
Regards,
Any sailors assigned to such a vessel will probably have to fight their way out of bars, when on shore leave, or remain on board.
This is not just offensive. It is a flagrant denial of common sense.
No. One does not condone the Milk murder. But neither can one condone the murder of common sense; putting the innocent unnecessarily in harm's way.
Thing is, it it GREAT fodder for humor and ribbing...one can only imagine what Marines are saying to Sailors upon hearing of this plan...
Heck...I find the jokes funny too (naming an oiler! Really? One of those things that does make you believe it is not only deliberate, but malignantly so) but man, it makes me so angry I can’t laugh.
And that is not a good thing!
There’s PLENTY of proof of this stuff, not jut the two pieces of evidence I gave you.
If you want to know, there’s plenty of evidence out there, easily found.
If you don’t care to investigate for yourself, so be it. Doesn’t really matter anyway.
Nevertheless, your post is more ironic than you thought.
I'll add something else to this. Many families, shipmates, and former crew members, of past ships often spend years writing letters and petitioning the Sec of Navy for a ships name. It's happened time and time again that some high ranking politician walks in and puts some politicans favorite at the front of the line. It even happened with the USS Gerald R Ford I think former VA Sen Warner was the culprit there.
Harvey Milk was a disgusting person unworthy of any such honor.
Research Tony Curtis appearing (in Chicago) live on the Roe Conn show (WLS-890).
Tony was in a wheelchair during this live appearance and he was hitting on Cristina Filliagi soooo damn hard, it made me uncomfortable just listening.
Tony Curtis, a fag? Gadzooks that hilarious!
You are exactly correct and that was the intent: to help degrade the effectiveness of our Navy and its supporting forces.
Milk's name wasn't chosen because he was an outstanding politician that effectively supported military causes.
Nor was his name chosen because he was an outstanding veteran who also happened to come from a Navy family. If that were the case, he would have been on a list with several million others.
No, his name was chosen for one reason. To think our federal government would name a national structure to celebrate that reason demonstrates the peril facing our culture.
Trump is going to be extremely busy during his term in office.
Exactly, cva66snipe, exactly. That is it in a nutshell.
We joke about the poor bubbleheads who have to serve on the USS Jimmy Carter, but this takes it all to another level entirely.
No wonder the Navy named it for an oiler.
Yes. Joe Boucher hit the nail on the head as you did, pointing out that this was done for a specific political reason, and that it indicates a rot in society that places the Republic in peril.
This is insane, I am not that old, but I never thought, in my life, I would see things like this. I thought I might be dead and long gone before things like this happened, but it feels like we are on a roller coaster going downhill with JATO packs attached to the back.
Milk was a commissioned officer of the United States Navy. He was the Diving officer on USS Kittiwake, later he taught at the Navy diving and salvage school. yes he was a homo. That is your hang up. He served, he did his duty, just as thousands of other men served and did their duty, never firing a shot at an enemy. I am one those, 25 years in our Navy, a cold warrior, never having seen combat. My old man did serve on a carrier in WWII, as a matter of fact is was sunk by the Japanese. He survived, spend the rest of the war on a Battleship, then did 2 years on a CVE during the Korean war. We have named ships after almost anyone on the planet, including people who never served in the armed forces, and some that were not American citizens. So What.
I was in the navy for 21 years, including six months near Baghdad. I think about 90% of navy members and veterans, I know, will hate that ship’s name.
Better take that up with old Jim, Clet... as his gaydar is powered up to several billion volts and pegging his dial big time--
Hey Bendy, there really is not much dispute about Curtis and Grant - it’s pretty common knowledge. Do you know what bi-sexual is? Being with a girl or even a wife doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not a queer also.
Do you get that Mick Jagger and David Bowie are/were both queers even though both of them are/were married?
Get a clue pal. Unfortunately there’s more and it looks like it will get worse.
