Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the USNS Harvey Milk will be renamed to honor Navy Chief Petty Officer Oscar V. Peterson, a Medal of Honor recipient who gave his life in the 1942 Battle of the Coral Sea.
The move strips away one of the Biden administration’s identity politics trophies and replaces it with an actual American hero.
The warrior ethos is back.
The adults are back in charge of the Pentagon. In this battle for the soul of our military, Hegseth just scored a direct hit.
The left apparently believes our Navy’s primary purpose is to serve as floating diversity seminars with occasional missile capabilities. How else can one explain naming warships after political activists instead of actual warriors?
