    USS Gabrielle Giffords

    No typo. You're not imagining this.
    When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

    Does that mean this ship is captained by a socialist?

    Yet another reason why my government embarrasses me. They use the military so unethically that it is now synonymous with the peace corps.

    Have an earthquake, send a carrier full of marines to provide welfare benefits that we pay for.

    Have a tsunami, send a carrier full of marines to provide welfare benefits that we pay for.

    Need a new war ship name? Name it after a communist who voted to steal the wealth of America and provide welfare benefits that we pay for.

    If I was going to name something the USS gabrielle giffords, it would be the floating pile of dung I drop in the toilet every am.

    Funny how lib presidents always use the Military as the "International Meals on Wheels".

    New Navy Recruiting slogan:

    "Join me and be gay with glee on the Gabby-G, Go Navy"

    I'm not sure exactly how this naming thing works, but I read an article on it yesterday that said the ship was being "sponsored" by the mother of the little girl that was killed at the same time she was shot. Whatever that means.

    Really? I knew the Air Force's had, but apparently all of our military "leaders" have lost touch with what's actually important.

    If that's the criteria, I have a few Silver Star and Navy Cross winners who could go to the front of the line.

    Some posthumously.

    That's what I was thinking, Francis. Or, you know, maybe one of those guys who got the Medal of Honor, though I think half of the Navy Cross or Silver Star guys probably deserved the MoH, their commanders were just afraid to give them out early on.

    MoH is way too political, agreed.

    Why not the USS An Nasaryia, or USS Fallujah?

    These battles produced more heroism and personal sacrifice by a long shot.
