Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
When Hegseth announced the decision to rename the ship, officials defended it as an effort to align with Trump and Hegseth’s objectives to “re-establish the warrior culture.”
the warrior culture of an army that fails miserably when it tries to attack anyone who can actually fight back
They want to fight China SO BAD without realizing China will eat their lunch and then want seconds.
defeated twice in naval battles by ansarallah, who has no navy
USNS Harvey Milk will be renamed after a World War II sailor who received the Medal of Honor, stripping the ship of the name of a slain gay rights activist who served during the Korean War.
definitely an improvement to have a WWII name instead of a Korean War one.
They should rename it "USS Ayatollah Khamenei We Authorize You to Strike This Craft With Fattah 1 Missile We Will Not Retaliate"
One of my hobbies is looking up the most esoteric US Navy veterans and then fantasising about them calling a ship after them so you have ships named after the guy who played Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince or the guy who wrote the theme song for Firefly or whatever
USS Carlton Banks
Renaming stuff homophobically and racistly is chum in the water for people who don't think the US military is the globe spanning terror dystopia that it is.
