The right-wingers are upset, correct?

Then it was a great move.

That pretty much sums up how liberals brains function. Good work. Doesn't matter if it's good for the country or the military or anyone as long as it upsets some "right wingers" all is well. The party of division rides on.

Navy Announces USS Gabrielle Giffords - ABC News

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus made the announcement at a Pentagon ceremony today, calling Giffords someone whose name is synonymous with courage.

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords looked on at the Pentagon as Mabus made the announcement in a public ceremony. Also in attendance at this afternoon’s brief ceremony in the Pentagon Courtyard was Roxana Green, the mother of 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green.

Christina-Taylor was among those killed in last year’s deadly shooting rampage in Tucson that targeted Giffords as she met constituents outside a supermarket. Roxana Green will be the ship’s sponsor.

Giffords is still recovering from the gunshot wounds to her head that she suffered during last January’s shooting incident. She stepped down from Congress two weeks ago.

The ship named today for her, which has yet to be built, will be the Navy’s 10th Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), a new kind of ship designed to bring the Navy fighting power into shallow coastal areas. The first two ships in this class were called Freedom and Independence, but the conventional practice since then has been to name the other ships in the class after a city.

“It’s very appropriate that LCS 10 be named for someone who has become synonymous with courage, who has inspired the nation with remarkable resiliency and showed the possibilities of the human spirit,” said Mabus.
I think it's kind of silly to do this, but to call it "utterly appauling" is also...... quite silly.

Yes, I do. We've had many a discussion about it...especially when I told him that Barack Obama is his Commander-In-Chief since he's served before (not literally, but figuratively speaking) and he revealed that he served years ago.

So, again, yes I do know that he is a Veteran.

This doesn't hurt our country in any way, shape, or form. So yeah, screw their petty outrage.

Will that put a hole in it right after its launch and "retire it" to become an artificial reef?
