The US Navy wants to name a warship to honour an Hispanic and they are looking at Cesar Chavez?
If they really feel the need, how about the USS Horacio Rivero - named for a 4-star Admiral who served the United States during the Second World War (where he was decorated for his heroism at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa), and again commanded a ship during the Korean War, serving ashore until well into the Vietnam War, and just for the heck of it, also commanded the US fleet during the Cuban Missile Crisis - not to mention serving as NATO Commander for Allied Forces, Southern Europe.
It’s not hard to find an Hispanic American hero who is worthy of having a ship named for him. This is just one example.
NO, NO, NO...abso-freakin-lutely NOT!!! That would only serve to make us, AND our military, look more complacent, and accepting...are there no more American heroes that actually DID something to earn respect and honor??
