Navy's Plan to Rename USNS Harvey Milk Sparks Outrage
The US Navy's decision to potentially rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a ship named after the slain gay rights icon and Navy veteran, has sparked outrage among Democrats. The move, which comes during Pride Month, has been labeled as "disgusting, blatant discrimination" by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The Navy is also considering renaming several other vessels named after prominent civil rights leaders. A Pentagon spokesperson defended the action, stating that Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that all DoD assets reflect the Commander-in-Chief's priorities. The video raises questions about the financial implications of such a widespread renaming effort. The controversy highlights the ongoing debate surrounding representation and historical figures in the military.
