Leftists

Hi Washington Times!
EDITORIAL: The USS Karl Marx
Leftists run wild politicizing Navy ship names

[...]

The Senate version of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act includes an amendment proposed by Sen. Roy Blunt, Missouri Republican, to “require a report on the policies and practices … for naming the vessels of the Navy.” The measure would require the secretary of defense to submit a report to Congress detailing current Navy policies for ship naming, the extent to which they vary from historical practices, and an assessment of the feasibility of establishing fixed policies for naming ships.

The catalyst for the amendment was the announcement last spring that the newest supply ship in the Navy’s inventory would be named after labor leader Cesar Chavez. This radical served briefly in the Navy after World War II but did not accomplish anything noteworthy while in uniform. His claim to fame was solely from organizing migrant laborers and agitating for the rights of illegal immigrants. Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, said at the time that naming a ship after Chavez appeared to be “more about making a political statement than upholding the Navy’s history and tradition.”

I am sure such a vessel would be too sissy to blow stuff up and soon men stuck at sea for long periods of time would start having sex with each other.

How long before they demand that all Navy ships be named after Ronald Wilson Reagan (666)?

Why can't you name the ships after fun things like the USS Banana Split or the USS I-Got-Your-Nose?

No, because then there would HAVE to be a USS That's NOT My Nose.

A submarine named the USS Scooby Dooby would be kinda cool.

That'd be swell! Get another ship! Leftists are all about military procurement.

He is going to complain about the Bob Hope Vehicle supply ship? Hope was never in the Navy or any of the armed services but I guess that he was not brown too.
