So they'll have an onboard 9mm pistol qualification range in the CIC?


All it's 5inch shells are FMJ. It'll take 9 shots to sink a Hobie sailboat.

What in the holy fuck is this shit.......ships should be named for people like: Nimitz, Reagan, Washington, John Paul Jones!  Not fucking Gabriel Giffords......and we should have a USS Kyle before that waste oxygen.


And ships should only be named for people that are no longer with us. Just like the ones you named.

 



And NO politician should be able to name a ship, building or anything after themselves... it's the epitome of arrogance.

I truly feel bad for what happened to Gabby. It sucked, and continues to suck for her and for her family.



BUT what happened to her in no way earned her a name on a ship, bridge, building, airport, or sporting arena.

Name a combat ship after a constitutional traitor that wants to disarm the citizens of her own nation?  Par for the course.  She should respectfully decline the offer, in the interest of peace.

I could see naming an unarmed red-cross ship after her or something to that effect.

Lots of service members commit acts of absolute heroism on the battlefield without recognition.  Some get recognized and become household names.  Some remain anonymous.  Some get written up for it, but the award is downgraded by the CoC.

Just because someone earned the MOH, doesn't mean others like Chief Kyle didn't didn't perform just as bravely. Why the dismissive attitude of his accomplishments?  What's with the petty jealousy?  

Better yet-instead of even replying, why don't you just STFU and go away.

Because the decision to name a USNS after the man was purely political-nothing more.  Did he distinguish himself?  Did he perform some heroic act?  

I respect his service, but not the libtard politicians exploiting the name of a Mexican labor activist for the purpose of soliciting votes.

I thought this was already sop.  has any other ship been named after a living individual?

glad to see I wasn't the only one caught off guard by the Kyle statement!  besides being an amazing sniper how about the fact he died trying to help his brothers suffering from the war?
