WaTimes: As the Obama administration this week named another warship after a politician, a new report is circulating in Congress that shows that nearly 200 Navy and Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipients have never been awarded such an honor, contrary to naval guidelines and tradition.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, who has named several ships after Democrats and liberal activists not connected to the military, was in Detroit on Monday to announce that an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer will be named the USS Carl M. Levin. The Michigan Democrat served 31 years in the Senate and chaired the Senate Armed Services Committee from 2007 to 2015. read more
Sick! Sen. Levin never did anything of value for the country or the DOD in particular. Mabus, you make me feel a trigger warning.
Why not the “U.S.S. V.I. Lenin” and just get it over with?
Tar, Feathers, Asshole Political Hack Navy Secretary, the crowd can assemble.
Warships need to be named after Warriors.
Can you imagine the morale on the USS Hilary Clinton?
Of course the USS Barak Obama can be crewed by all gay and gender-queer, and transgender, trans-whatever and people who identify as barnyard animals.
And this. The little bastard stays busy.

Just wait until the first openly gay or Transgender casualty… oh, will that be a scene.
Ferryboats have to be able to go both ways. If the Navy has one, they should name it the U.S.S. Jenner, with “Bruce” painted on one end and “Caitlyn” on the other. Oh, wait – that would make it a “fairyboat”, though, wouldn’t it?
Never mind…
😉
Breaking news: We interrupt this program to announce that the Iranians have sunk the USS Levin while it was retreating full speed flank with it’s rainbow complement of queers, females and transgenders all wearing the uniforms of other countries!!
Does this mean the “Carl Levin” will attempt to sink the Reagan or Bush super carriers?
Historical Footnote: The US Navy’s policy of inclusion was an outstanding and remarkable success. Regrettably, the fighting ability of the US Navy was not!
