How Pete Hegseth celebrates Pride Month

He does it by being petty and vindictive, which will no doubt curry favor with the pig running the government.

The U.S. Navy plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a fleet replenishment oiler named after the slain gay rights leader and Navy veteran, and is considering renaming multiple naval ships named after civil rights leaders and prominent American voices, CBS News has learned. … The documents obtained by CBS News also show other vessels named after prominent leaders are also on the Navy’s renaming “recommended list.”

Among them are the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Medgar Evers.

I have mixed feelings about the principle of naming warships after civil rights leaders, but I don’t think this is about morality. It’s all about spite.

Following his confirmation in January, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a directive instructing the Pentagon and U.S. military services to cease hosting events tied to heritage or awareness months, citing concerns that such programs could undermine unity within the ranks. The “Identity Months Dead at DoD” guidance banned official manpower and resources from being used on such events — among them, Pride Month, Black History Month and Women’s History Month.

It might undermine unity to pander to Nazis, too.

And this is just stupid.

The memo said the renaming of naval ships was to realign the U.S. military with Trump administration priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture.

Warrior culture. I don’t want to live in a warrior culture, especially since that seems to be a synonym for “insecure bullying lickspittle culture”.
