Literally zero mention of racism in this article.
Capitalist media is incapable of calling out explicit racism.
Fash enablers.

When this is over, they need to pass a law that NOTHING can be named after Trump, with one exception: Sewage Treatment Facilities. They will become known as Trumps, and people will say things like "Wow, the Trump really stinks worse than usual today "
This would tactically would be Ill-advised , it would face threats abroad and domestic. Anyone working with the vessel would automatically have a moral debuff, thus increasing likelihood of poor maintenance and slower resupply. In addition, it would become a political target of other nations more frequently, delaying refueling and resupply abroad.
The other comments have other very good reasons not to do this but from a cold logical tactical standpoint it is also ill-advised.
U.S.S. Fat Useless Idiot
So, uh, you keep saying you support our veterans, but when are you actually going to start?
honestly fuck vets and Trump. I’m tired of pretending American vets should be celebrated. Veterans not Veterinarians
It's seems like a weird fetish Americans have. Most places wouldn't be any more likely to say "Thank you for your service" to a pizza delivery person then former armed service personnel. It's like, you had a job, you chose to do it, and now you're doing something else. What's the big deal?
I used to rock a flat top haircut, when living in the mid-south people regularly offered to buy me a beer to thank me for my service. They were often put off if I told them I never served. I switched to asking they write their representatives to improve the VA if they really wanted to thank vets.
Its probably so vets don't feel bad about all the unjust oil based wars and government toppling they do as part of their service.
Honestly, it's a job that comes with an implicit "you are worth less than our objectives and your life will be risked if we deem it." No OSHA, no safety regulations (well, militaries have their own regulations...) Get in the barely tested hardware and determine if it'll protect you from a bomb. Also, if you disagree, we'll put you in jail or jack up your life.
That said, countries need armies. Where would Ukraine be if they decided to disarm for security agreements that were then quickly violated? And what if that foe was actually competent?
But, like, post-Vietnam, Americans should've realized they weren't the good guys. It's a shame new people keep getting born and don't realize the whole history of their country...
"Thank you for your service" has always just meant "look what a great American I am". It's just a shallow performance of self-righteousness, like almost everything we do here.
This is so true. I have tried my entire life to vote advocate for NOT starting wars. That's what actually honors / helps veterans.
Republicans love to spew this patriotic bullshit, while sending them to die to line the pockets of oil companies and weapons manufacturers.
And while we're at it, military overwhelming votes Republican.... So yea... Kinda leopards type situation
The Navy commission came amid broader efforts in the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to remove names selected for what the administration considers diversity, equity, and inclusion purposes.
In other words, Racism.
Capitalist media has never heard of such a thing.
Isn't racism just a woke conspiracy? \s
Funny thing, the anti-DEI people are usually crying that this should be a meritocracy. Don't fill diversity quotas, honour the worthy people, they say.
Let's see here. Should they name the aircraft carrier after a war hero, or the bone spurs guy? Hmm, this is a toughie.
The first US war hero of the second world war. A man who missed out on being awarded the Medal of Honor due to the Secretary of the Navy being racist. Why would they ever name a ship after that guy when they could name one after a draft dodging dodderer instead?
Nothing coded about this, I guess.
How often do the Tone Police in the Murc's Law Media scold and chastise the liberals for daring to say the obvious out loud - that the Republican Party is filled with racists and donnie is their favorite guy for this reason?
While simultaneously he shits on that one boat with an unreasonable duration at sea, he steals the glory of an actual solier, and still finds a way to stroke his own ego while he's at it. Not to mention the cost at tax payers expense of whatever bureaucratic ripples this sends out.
He's going to die. They're going to uncover truly horrific things of unprecedented scope, and then to save face they're going to paint him as some sort of mastermind. I'm going to have to grow old and die myself as they contort Turnip's career as some sort of Machiavellian genius, when in fact he has all the nuances of a screeching adolescentwith a negative kill ratio on counter strike. They will build the myth to preserve the institution, but I'll never forget how brazen and clumsy he was or how complicit are the people warming themselves on the flaming wreckage he leaves in his wake.
I've long now made the point that although I knew fascism would come with a flag in one hand and a bible in the other, and in our lifetimes, I never dreamed it would be so fucking stupid.
I imagined more calculating and rational evil leaders. After seeing this, now I am starting to wonder if like hitler and stalin were also a lot dumber than I give them credit for.
The ship is not expected to be delivered until 2034
Why do they bother? It's not like the ship will still be named after Trump by the time it's built even if it's named after him now.
Why do they bother?
To pacify a diaper soiling orange baby. Once out of office, the Trump name is getting dropped like a trud...unless this fascist trend continues.
Can these idiots just not say “no” to him? I’m pretty tired of seeing news articles that are the kind of thing that Trump jerks off to.
They all want in on the grift. Not only are they getting fame (or infamy) and power they haven’t earned but many of them are exploiting the same corruption. Look at how wealthy the turnip kids are now, based on misuse of government authority
How the military puts up with this draft dodger astounds me. I get he’s their “boss” but my god how embarrassing.
