this entire administration is irredeemable scum.
Article is a good read about Miller.
The choice of USS Doris Miller marked the first time an aircraft carrier would honor an enlisted sailor, and the first aircraft carrier to be named for an African American. Asked about his decision to name the carrier after Miller, Modly told CNN that it was recommended to him by a group of retired Black admirals, and that he believes “one of our most powerful warships should bear the name of a sailor like Miller to bring greater attention to what makes our Navy so unique — and great.”
“Thank you for your service” has always just meant “look what a great American I am”. It’s just a shallow performance of self-righteousness, like almost everything we do here.
This is so true. I have tried my entire life to vote advocate for NOT starting wars. That’s what actually honors / helps veterans.
Republicans love to spew this patriotic bullshit, while sending them to die to line the pockets of oil companies and weapons manufacturers.
And while we’re at it, military overwhelming votes Republican… So yea… Kinda leopards type situation
