Defense secretary’s memo says stripping the name of the Navy veteran is part of an effort to reestablish ‘warrior culture’
Fuck these d bags
That’s just fucking petty.
You HAVE the 2A
Yea but I also have a job, and a wife and dog that would suffer if I martyred myself, even if I only wound up in prison. I think a lot of people look at the situation and see the same hopelessness, and can only hope for it not to get worse, because chances are if we do nothing, we won’t lose everything, but not the same if we do choose to do something.
“First they came for the…”
I agree, but I don’t have a better answer. I empathize like hell with my queer friends, I understand the fear, but what am I going to accomplish alone with a rifle and how likely is it that a legitimate militia could be established before being wiped out, and how would it even be organized?
I think it has to start with the military. I think if a large enough chunk of soldiers and materiel defected, enough for a fighting chance, that civilians would join in droves. But I don’t really know, that’s just what I’ve come to think.
What next? Guessing from the Onion’s prediction
U.S. Military Bans Men With Girl Names From Participating In Combat
Though it beats me why putting a relatively peaceful yet outspoken activist and politician’s name in an imperial ship is progress in the first place.
Rainbow fascism at work! Also “…something something during the time of great revolutionaries something something canonize them something something.” --Joe’s Lemon.
“Warrior culture” on the fuel tanker crewed mainly by civilians
This dude is hopelessly fucking stupid.
The very nature of warfare is changing at an unbelievable rate (supply chain attacks, drones manufactured in theater, just to name a couple) and this guy is fucking obsessed with transgender and gay people.
If you’re conservative and you voted for these guys, and you give any kind of shit about America, you need to start yelling at your reps about this bullshit to get someone with at least some baseline fucking competency in there.
I didn’t vote for this bullshit. My city didn’t. My state didn’t. Y’all in the red states need to step up.
Not just Harvey Milk. Several other names are on there, like Harriet fucking Tubman.
Harriet Tubman was more of a warrior than he could ever be.
Hegseth is a news anchor who literally commisioned his personal lawyer as a Navy Officer. He wouldn’t know what a warrior looked like if one punched him in the face for being a christofascist fuck. He wrote a book called American Crusade and is ripping down Harvey Milk’s name specifically during Pride Month, quote, “on purpose.”
Remember, everyone. It was never about transgender athletes, it was never going to stop with oppressing transgender people, it was always complete and utter bigotry and fascism all the way down.
Didn’t he have a make-up studio added to the Pentagon? He’s a wannabe drag queen just like his boss.
Fascist culture

We don’t want a warrior culture. That’s dumb fashy shit. We want a culture where every time soldiers are sent to war, it’s seen as a failure of leadership that it got to this point.
literally one of the biggest components of sun tzus art of war is exactly that.
“the supreme art of war is to subdue your enemy without fighting”
essentially, if you have an enemy, and can work things out democratically, or in other non violent ways, then you win. if you cannot do that, you have failed, and have to wage a traditional war, which is costly to both sides. and thus should be avoided.
Asimov also had this concept baked into the foundation series. “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent”.
They seem to be spending a whole lot of energy on stuff that really isn’t practically important
Why aren’t they saying whose name is going in its place?
It’s gonna be the USS Taco isn’t it…
Assuming the plan is USS Adolf Hitler, the way things are going
They’ll start with the USS Rommel
The perfect third column Nazi
Because they aren’t announcing it until june 13.
The renaming of the ship was set to become public on June 13, the memo said. While a new name for the Milk has not been announced, the memo said Hegseth and Phelan are set to make the announcement aboard the oldest commissioned ship in the Navy, the USS Constitution.
Hmmmm.
That’s the day before POTUS’s birthday. Trump would love a big beautiful boat named after him as a birthday gift bribe to not fire Hegseth for royally fucking up.
haha rename it from a totally-not-manly gay icon’s name to a totally-manly draft dodger’s name.
That boat will be the unluckiest boat ever floated and will sink shortly after.
Oh fuck i hope not
Sad to see the constitution used to spread such hate. But I guess her namesake has gotten the same treatment forever.
It’s a warship. Literally built to spread hate.
Anything built to fight the British Empire is based as shit… At least before 1930.
Constitution was built to fight pirates and the Fr*nch.
What a bunch of bullshit.
“Warrior culture - it’s turned out so well for the Russian military, let’s do it to ours!”
