I did a stint in the Army. Why does that matter? That doesn't make me special. Tens of millions have done the same thing in our nations history. Doesn't make my opinion any more or less valid.
With all the heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan, they name a ship after Gabrielle Gifford? Really! It was a tragedy what happened to her, but I know a lot of men and women veterans that deserve that honor more than her.
True, and she was shot by one of her own groupies, which she inadvertantly encouraged by writing to him.
The self-promotion of this because of this incident really makes one have to admire Ronald Reagan who was also shot -- by Jodie Foster's fan, not his own but he never endlessly exploited the tragedy.

This whole post makes not one bit of sense. It's incoherent, childish, picayune, and silly.

And you think Giffords is exploiting her own tragedy? lol come on man give me a break.

Well how long will this incident be shamelessly exploited? And let's not forget, she survived, others did not. It was her choice not to pay for security -- to protect herself and others.

Geez...more petulance on your part. The first post wasn't enough, eh?
Leave well enough alone. I can understand being a partisan, but why cross lines unecessarily? She's in no shape to exploit anything. Are you THAT butthurt over something as trivial as what to name a ship? It's not that serious.
Why are we building more ships when we already have the worlds most powerful navy 20 times over?
