Navy names a ship after Chazez...disgusting.
Noticed this story on on subsim, really is a shame our Navy is naming ships after left wing radicals now.How about naming support vessels such as this after people who died in service of our country, there are plenty of names we do not know.Not shocking given who the President is currently, no doubt he had a say in it, most likely pushed his SECNAV to do so.Suppose next there will be a push for the USS Eugene Debs lol Ah, digsusting.

"Navy names a ship after Chazez...disgusting. "
Right, the "USS Noriega" would fit much better :O: |
USNS Cesar Chavez (T-AKE-14)
- Named after civil right activist. USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS-10) - Named after a politician who got shot by maniac and survived it. USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002) - Named after politician who served 8 months in Navy during WWII mostly as bureaucrat. Was observer in aborted (mechanical problem) recon mission and got Silver Star for it. If that mission was so dangerous why nobody else got a medal? Somebody should keelhaul Mr. Mabus ASAP! EDIT: I know Mr. Johnson was a president but in my opinion that shouldn't automatically get ship named after you. |
I wonder how many people read this news and go: "OMG, they named a ship of ours after a foreign president!" :rotfl2:
I do not see a problem with it. This guy served in the Navy and did more for the common man than Ronnie Reagan who basically kicked the working class into their teeth but got a carrier named after him. So what is radical about Chavez? Did he want to overthrow the goverment, abolish the Constitution, built up a Communist state? Or did he just organize people and fight for fair labor conditions - by nonviolent means, btw. Quote:

Well what do you have against that man ? He has nothing to do with Venezuela ..
"Many parks, cultural centers, libraries, schools, and streets have been named in his honor in cities across the United States." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesar_Chavez |
Be thankful you still have a navy, and ships to go in it! :yep:

You'd think Bubbles would have more respect for someone who was very anti-illegal immigration. |
Wiki says the guy was tougher on emigration than Obama....:D
(know i know who Chazes was:yeah:) |
I'm still waiting for the USS Richard Nixon...:D
|
It's a cargo-ammunition ship, not an aircraft carrier. They could call it the USS Billy Bob Thornton for all it would matter.
Personally, I'm still waiting for the Royal Navy to name a vessel HMS Thunder Child...but I think they're too scared of tempting a Martian invasion... :hmmm: |
You would think Bubbles is entitled to his opinion, right or wrong. What were you thinking Bubbles?
