The Navy Secretary touted its ships as “beacons in every port of call” for “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” in a message to the force celebrating Pride Month.

In the message to the force, Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro highlighted Harvey Milk, the first openly-gay candidate to be elected to state office in California, who was also a lieutenant junior grade. In 2016, then-Navy Secretary Ray Mabus named a ship after Milk.

Another cheerleader of the Queen’s Navy. A Manbus and Kirby follow-up.

Not USS, it is USNS Harvy Milk. The ship is operated by the military sealift command. It is crewed by civilian mariners and has a small communications detachment of regular navy personnel on board.

Despite never having been ordered there,Vietnam played a substantial role in my life for about 7 years...6 of which were my Army years (active and Reserves). As a result I gave into the urge to go there in 2008.

From the moment we touched down at Tan Son Nhut I had a nasty feeling in my gut.While there we took a river "cruise" up the Mekong to An Lac and during it I couldn't help but think of the river boats...the "Brown Water Navy" (IIRC).

Very spooky...very sad.

Yes,with The Big Guy as "Commander-In-Chief" you guys would have been court martialed for war crimes.

America is in a godless reprobate death spiral.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap.
Galatians 6:7

Goes for the country as well. I think God is about to drop the hammer on us.

I think the Harvey Milk sunk from trying to ram too many other ships.

Now, men, I run a mans’ ship. I will run it in a manful and masculine way! I will tolerate no men under my command who act in such a way so as to discredit their manhood and manliness! Do I make myself clear?

This is so totally crazy that it is hard to both describe and believe. Being “beacons for diversity, equity, and inclusion” will make our ships targets for destruction.

Davy Jones is about as diverse and inclusive as they come, which is where these faggot infested ships will ultimately end up.

We could proceed on these missions in light of guidance provided by the Geneva Conventions. Based on the obvious reading of Articles 28 and 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the VC were responsible for any civilian deaths in the areas we shelled. Those civilians qualified as Protected Persons within the enemy’s physical control and could not be used to render certain points and areas immune from military operations.

I was not sympathetic with the trauma displayed by protesters in the states, who willfully ignored the justification for our actions.

That is a very eloquent summary of everything that is wrong with the United States Navy today.

Diversity? There’s carriers, destroyers, corvettes, submarines... There’s depth charges, jets, torpedoes, missiles...
