The Pentagon is looking to rename several ships named after women, Black people, or gay people in an effort to “restore warrior culture”. One of the ships they seek to rename is the USNS Harriet Tubman. This is the second ship named after the General, the first being during World War 2. She was the first woman to lead a US military assault. In 1863, she led the 54th Massachusetts Regime in a daring raid that freed over 700 slaves. The other ships are the Harvey Milk, Cesar Chavez, Lucy Stone, and Thurgood Marshall. It’s being reported by Military.com that Hegseth explicitly ordered Harvey Milk’s ship to be renamed during Pride month on purpose. Harvey Milk was essentially kicked out of the military for being gay while he was serving in the Korean war. The reason all of these oil vessels are named after civil rights icons is because it’s part of a broader effort by the Pentagon to recognize that Americans of all colors, creeds, and orientations have fought and died for the country. It also allowed the Pentagon to finally ditch names connected to the confederacy. Legendary Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr reacted to the news saying “This is a bad day for the US Navy. Where on earth is the heritage of a force that has long honored, fought, and fallen for all Americans. What is the war-fighting reason for this?” Others are asking “does the US military defend all Americans or just some of them?” It’s not immediately clear what the new name for Milk or Tubman’s ships will be.
#usa #america #military
Imagine thinking a woman who fought with black American troops who knew if the were ever outgunned or captured they would be executed and still fought on . Imagine thinking that isn’t a total symbol of warrior culture
they're not even pretending anymore. they just hate anyone who isn't a straight white man.
Fuck this administration
Another leap backwards…🙄
So taking down Confederate statues is bad, but this is good?
Oh I get it. So he's gonna change the names of the USS Robert E. Lee and the USS Stonewall Jackson as well?
By the way this regime acts, one would think that only white people fought in every war this country has ever been in.
It boggles my mind that we entrusted this country's future to a conman and a weakling. We need a president who has actually served before they start making decisions on what "warrior culture is"
This is stupid
The Military isnt removing black people from history. You ever hear of the Tuckaseegee Airmen? Military is no place for DEI or Transgender/gay ideology. The military is to kill and defend. Your sexual orientation doesnt protect anybody. The moral is the military isnt the lefts woke project. It's a killing machine for 1 purpose.
Renaming the bases after confederate traitors again wasn’t enough… because it was never about heritage. It was always about white supremacist patriarchy- ie fascism.
america is a fascist state after all
Only the rich white Americans
Its all a scapegoat
Get triple sec Hegseth off the helm or we are going to crash.
“Warrior culture” my ass – if Hegseth could manage a BAC lower than “consistently sloshed” he’d know his own boss is a draft dodger.
Get rid of all these woke names. Gays dnt win wars
Bamber Bridge
I mean this comes after the fact that they took down Medal of Honor citations from the DOD website from recipients who were black, some of the URL’s being changed to refer to them being “DEI” in nature.
The message is clear. If you’re not a cishet white man, you’re not welcome in the US military, you will not be remembered for your efforts- even if they’re at the risk of your life above and beyond the call of duty.
Somehow America manages to get more embarrassing every day.
Trying to restore warrior culture, by an alcoholic wife beater, and a pedophile
Imagine Trump on the front lines of a war. He’d piss his pants with his tiny pecker.
Finally, something that will lower grocery prices.
so our tax dollars are going towards…. Renaming a boat…
Rich coming from a guy who dodged the draft. He knows nothing about warrior culture
…the hell is "warrior culture" and why do we need it in 2025
Name a time or place America fought a war that was worth dying for?
Can't wait for the orange man's hard fall.
Personally, I don't care bit to erase history itself.
Would Loki be retarded? Shouldn't matter whether it's offensive or not at the end of the day, that's what freedom of speech stands for the very foundation of whether it is something offensive or not offensive, at least you're able to say it. I think the ship name is a decent idea. Not gonna lie, it will get more people into war. More and the Army, but but to erase Confederate. History is pretty retarded. Cause then you're not facing a problem head on. And there's still people who hold on to thatrust me.I live in a south
FDT! Harriet Tubman had 10X the moral character and fortitude of Chump or any of his goons. Hogsweat? Punk a$$ frat bro was kicked out of running two charities.
4 th world country
Just let the military choose the names they want
Most of these aren't even warships. Not sure what a fuel tanker needs with "warrior culture."
A DRAFT DODGER!!!
Next his going to make it you have to call ships he/him
Almost as bad as withholding those files, almost
who cares
We will still call it by it’s original name
We real Americans not wannabe nazzis lol
Not one mention of the fact that the names were changed SPECIFICALLY to reflect 'inclusiveness' rather than any rational need. The changes were of political, not military rationale. There's always new ships coming into service – name THEM as you please. Don't change what's already there.
Oh yeah.
What else do you all have to cry about? Let's go through the list and get it over with.
Peter is loser and monster
Cesar Chávez! That’s just racist to Latinos,Hispanics, and others of Spanish origin.
One of the most badass ships in Royal Navy history was called the Gloworm…
I'm not sure the 'warrior culture' argument stands to scrutiny
