Instead of having a serious conversation about building warships for a future Navy we have this drivel. This needs to be shelved and then deleted from existence the moment a D-led Congress has the chance. Embarrassing.
President Trump claims the warship will be "the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built." A month ago, the Navy scrapped plans to build a new, small warship, citing delays and cost overruns. n.pr/4pSg7zB

These guys hate history. It’s fucking gross.
Orwellian to claim that this blatantly political decision is "taking the politics out of ship naming."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that the U.S. Navy was changing the name of a ship named after Harvey Milk, a Navy veteran and one of the country’s first openly gay elected officials. Hegseth said the decision was "taking the politics out of ship naming." https://trib.al/UKLLGqd

HB #USArmy! The org and structure of the Army by Washington is a masterclass into mil/politics. He needed the Army to have Euro qualities and be ‘legit’ as opposed to ragtag to gain support from Europe against the Crown. That legitimacy fueled early wins…Washington remains one of our finest GOs

Pour one out and throw on some funk and soul for a real one. Just started his new bio this past week which is amazing; also catch his doc and life story on Hulu. The funk will live on but with a little less.
