Hard to see why he insists on naming ships after living people when there are so many dead people he admires he could choose instead: Che Guevara, Karl Marx, Nat Turner, Benedict Arnold, Yasser Arafat, Vladimir Lenin, Pol Pot, Ayatollah Khomeini, Ho Chi Minh...

Why doesn’t the Obama-compromised Navy Secretary just cut to the chase and name a ship the U.S.S. Caitlyn Jenner?

I knew Adm. Burke and I know he’s puking in his grave about Mabus the commander of the HSM Fairy Fleet and Carl Levin, a stupid communist KGB dupe.

Rules are made for everyone except for the proglodytes. They’re insulated from rules and laws that the rest of mere humanity are subject to.

Barney’s Frank would be more appropriate. Tradition is just one more thing they can spit upon. They are the spawn of the Father of lies. From the Democrat Bible:

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—despise such things.

A nation headed by perverts will not stand long.

BTW, petition has been made, and Rear Admiral Atkins qualifies under the standing rules...

Under consideration...

But the Progs just make it up as they go...

that the secretary can “deviate” from the ship-naming rules, which he described as “guidelines.”

Isn’t that line out of a “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie?

"This naming a ship after a politician who never served a damn day is a terrible slight to many heroes in all branches not to mention former Navy and Marine types."

Maybe it doesn't have an engine.

I can see Barney Franks as a rear admiral, lower half.

save us from Mabus. The rallying cry that got Curt Fordice elected to Governor replacing that democrat. And while not perfect in many ways, Fordice managed to undo a lot of the crookedness that the smarmy, smartass who now sits in oBamma’s lap did. certainly Mabus must not believe in a God that judges.

A submarine named the USS Weiner?
It fires torpedoes randomly and some are programmed to circle back on the ship.

At least Harvey Milk served in the navy.

Well, the navy being what it was back then and becoming more so no, now. No shocker.
