You just made the case against yourself. You are against politicizing the military. Yet you are in favor of renaming a ship because the person was Gay. The ultimate politicization by the anti-LBGT etc.. right. It was a tanker for goodness sake not an aircraft Carrier. Military things are named to give a felling of inclusion to a multi racial, multi faith, multi sexual preference population and military member like Milk was.The Left is so into using/abusing govt power to push political agendas.
I had the privilege of visiting Pearl Harbor and going to the USS Arizona memorial in February. Nearby is the USS Missouri. IMHO, Naval ships should be named after states, war heroes, basically anything other than political agendas. Except in 2016, the Obama administration named a naval tanker after Harvey Milk, a gay politician in San Francisco.
So in 2025, Pete Hegbeth is renaming this tanker after a Medal of Honor recipient and Nancy Pelosi is calling it a "shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream."
Did we really need to politicize the military? We have plenty of war heroes that should be honored. Trump 2.0 has got to be getting a lot of deep state actors nervous.

You really need to rethink before you post. Obama politicized the Navy, I am against it. Apparently you are for the Prophet Muhammad tanker, to appeal to your muslim constituents. Go for it. Very multi faith. I prefer non political names.You just made the case against yourself. You are against politicizing the military. Yet you are in favor of renaming a ship because the person was Gay.
