Does the President have the power to change the name of a military vessel? Asking for a friend...

Last time I check President Trump was their boss, probably not a good idea to send you boss a “stern warning” about anything if you value your future career.

Shanahan is another K Street creature. Why cannot DJT find some retired general who doesn't live in the DC area and was not a Bush or BHO buttboy for Secdef. Something like the current AJ who has nothing to lose and doesn't care what the Compost says.

First of all it is stupid.
Also, how did it get into the MSM? The blabbermouth needs to be fired immediately. Don’t bother coming in on Monday.

Pentagon sends stern message to White House over USS John McCain debacle I suggest that those generals, admirals and worthless bureaucrats dust off a copy of The Constitution and review Who tells Whom what to do!

This is so unreal. I mean when I was in the Army, if I sent a stern message to the commander telling him I was not going to comply with an order of his, my ass would be grass with at least an Article 15 being the lawn mower.
If this is a fact based story, those issuing the message need to start retirement immediately.
To: Ennis85
The McCain should be sold for scrap. It's a Jonah ship anyway.

That would probably leave out most still on the job.
obummer got rid of most of those.
But’s it’s easy enough to pull someone out of retirement if they are willing.
I don’t have a day in the service but I’ll take the job :)
I’ll just use some guys on FR as my advisers :)

Probably not. Besides, every sailor knows that changing a vessels name is an invitation to bad luck for that vessel. Forever.

Just sending this warning and letting it be published is exactly that.

Is this story corroborated?
If not, then it’s just more fake news from never-Trumper Glenn Beck.

"... to speak with the White House military office and reaffirm his mandate that the Department of Defense will not be politicized..."
That's laughable. The very fact that that communication was publicized kind of proves the above statement false. And since when does the DOD or any other federal agency get froggy with the POTUS? They're supposed to do their boss' bidding or quit.
The deep state (swamp, sewer, whatever) are becoming more and more dangerous to the Republic as time goes on.

Presidential “flunkies” do advance work to make sure nothing at a locale will embarrass their man. Probably someone saw the McCain and figured it wouldn’t be good to have it in a picture with Trump, so he asked it be moved.
Presidents usually don’t know about these things, they don’t pay that kind of attention to minor details on their trips, and the flunkies involved probably don’t have the experience and maturity to handle such matters.
A tempest in a teapot.

This is where the politicization took place.
