The choice of USS Doris Miller marked the first time an aircraft carrier would honor an enlisted sailor, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for an African American. Asked about his decision to name the carrier after Miller, Modly told CNN that it was recommended to him by a group of retired Black admirals, and that he believes “one of our most powerful warships should bear the name of a sailor like Miller to bring greater attention to what makes our Navy so unique — and great.”
Still though, our guy is dumber, but maybe just because he's a decrepit old dotard.
Side note as to the horsewhipping on the street, reminds me of Ivan the Terrible, Russia's old Tsar. He used to go on the streets in plainclothes and cut peoples' beards off just for the lulz. Forget what year he was.
