Defense secretary’s memo says stripping the name of the Navy veteran is part of an effort to reestablish ‘warrior culture’
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.
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.
Fascist culture
Too bad his name wasn’t Harvey Whiskey. There’d be no shot of having it renamed by Pete in that case.
Harvey white Russian?
Harvey Wallbanger?
Maybe Harvey Weinstein.
Or tell him that if you combine into one fleet the USS Harvey Milk, the USS Morgan Rum and the USS Runny Yolk, you get eggnog!
America is a fascist, racist, homophobic, bully, anti-intelligence culture.
Sacrifice your neighbours at the altar of prosperity in pursuit of the holy me.
Except that its less than 1/3 of us that feel that way. Its a big shit sandwich and we all have to take a bite here.
Fix your democracy then
|Fix your democracy then
LMAO
I’ll get 3 of my best guys on it immediately.
That’s how It starts 👍
There’s some pretty good restaurants tho.
These people wouldn’t know what warrior culture is if it came in and punched them in the face. Ancient Greeks hoplites were gay as shit and they were some of the finest warriors in the world.
Homosexuality in the militaries of ancient Greece was a significant aspect across the ancient Greek city-states, ranging from being a core part of military life to being an accepted practice of some individual soldiers. It was regarded as contributing to morale. Although the primary example is the Sacred Band of Thebes, a unit said to have been formed of same-sex couples, the Spartan tradition of military heroism has also been explained in light of strong emotional bonds resulting from homosexual relationships. Various ancient Greek sources record incidents of courage in battle and interpret them as motivated by homoerotic bonds.
The Spartans also missed like two wars because they landed on easy to predict holidays that perverted them from being there in time, so they tended to over sell the times they did make it to war.
Why aren’t they saying whose name is going in its place?
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.
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.
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.
Oh fuck i hope not
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.
It’s gonna be the USS Taco isn’t it…
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
That’s just fucking petty.
What a bunch of bullshit.
“Warrior culture - it’s turned out so well for the Russian military, let’s do it to ours!”
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.
“Warrior culture” on the fuel tanker crewed mainly by civilians
