Agree with waste of time...
As to ship, ‘THEY’ did add McStain to the list, which - IMNSHO, denigrates his Father & Grandfather.
After all, they(or at least the name) kept him in USNA and flight school where a ‘lesser’ person with same attitude/grades etc would have been a member of the fleet as enlisted.
I am sure adding McStain to the name is/was just an ‘in your face’ to the Rs ....then again, I ‘knew’ that ‘we’ wouldn’t get away with a Reagan/Ford/Bush trifecta... I can see weewillie, HRC & BO getting something other than a garbage scow named for them.
Paybacks are hell.
Lets get back to battles, mountains/volcanoes, cities/counties etc and DEAD people for the naming of ships.
I missed that they added his name...ugh.
