Wouldn’t it be cool if Congress would pass a bill requiring that all Navy WARSHIPS be named after “hawks”? Naming them after peaceniks, strawberry pickers and Democrat politicians seems a bit hypocritical to me, IMHO. ;o)
I thought it was lettuce pickers? I remember being harassed by them in the parking lot of the local market that wasn't carrying lettuce with the union label. Circa 1980, 81.
I could see obama wishing to name one after neville chamberlain.
I would be happy enough if they passed a bill that said that ships (and everything else) can only be named after people who have passed away. Naming anything after a living person is something an empire would do. It is unworthy of a Republic.
