This is a travesty. The fucking Navy should be ashamed of themselves.
I would hang my head in shame if I was a Navy man.
Call your Congress critter and ask then to stop this stupidity!
Sink the Murtha: Outrage on the High Seas
By Gary Larson
Naming a U.S. Navy ship after a departed congressman is a slap in the face of all veterans. This God-awful decision should not be allowed to stand.
It is a sacrilege, a savage low blow to the United States military, that the late congressman John (Jack) H. Murtha (D-PA) is being honored now by having a U.S. Navy ship named after him. It is a sacrilege of a high order, in the sense of the term’s Latin roots meaning “stealing from holy places.”
In a world of political outrages, of insensibility to truth and denial of objective realities, this single act brings everlasting discredit to the U.S. Navy. It is really an unforgivable outrage, an affront to all honorably serving veterans and those to serve our nation in the future.
