Murdered politician Harvey Milk is going to be honored by Obama appointee Ray Maybus by having a ship named after him. Milk besides being gay and dead also had an unsavory reputation about him and very young men. Very young men whom he plied with forbidden subjects.

This is another Obama move and like other Obama shits, it is an insult to the men and women of the US navy. Which, by the way, is one half the size that it was during the first Gulf War and yet Obama said at the DNC convention that everything was great. Did he mention that North Korea was putting a submarine class to sea that can carry a ballistic missle with a nuclear warhead. A missile that can attack Hawaii, San Diego, or Los Angeles. Guess Obama was busy trying to put a dress on all the sailors and soldiers.

Milk is on the short list of civil rights activist to have ships named after them.

In this case, the T-AO Oilers.


first 3 served with distinction in the military.

the last 2 did not serve in the military nor serve in government.

I would say that the first three served (actually RFK did not) but not with distinction. Compare some of the others with ships named after them. Warren served in the army and without distinction. That leaves Milk. He served on board the Kittiwake (I used to work on that ship!) as a diving officer but only achieved the rank of Lt. jg. which is something that every office achieves after about six months. So no distinction for Milk. This is all very smelly politics and Obama.

RFK served in the Navy for 3 years.

Does anyone think it ironic that the ship to be named after a gay activist is an "oiler"?

So will TAO-06 be hauling Vaseline ? EKIM and assup will be fighting to go to the christening and hope to be the ones to break the bottle on it's bow ! Or mebbe the fags have a different " liquid " that they will use to " christen " a ship . EKIM and assup might even wear their rainbow thong and feather boa when they break the bottle , since it's a " formal " occasion !!! Bet they'll staff that vessel with dykes, fags and Caitlyn-wanna-bees like EKIM and assup ! Will the Village People be there for the commissioning ? EKKIM and assup will SUUUURLY have to go then ! Mebbe they'll invite Lubed Wide-ass to go with them !!! Might get him to mello out !

Cracked the books and here is the straight skinny on RFK's military service; he was in the naval reserve in 1944, released from active service less than six months later. He enrolled in an officer training program but dropped it to serve as an E2 on the ship named after his brother for three months. He made one short, shakedown cruise to the Caribbean and got his discharge.

Nothing distinctive there. Would be embarrassed to bring that up around veterans.
