Nothing to disrespect about Doris Miller. He ran for his battle station when the bombs started to fall, and his gun station had already been hit. Reporting to the assigned area to be reassigned duty's, an officer had him follow him to the bridge of the burning battleship to pick up the captain and move him to a safer location... he was then asked to help with the loading of an antiaircraft gun but wound up doing all the firing. When out of ammo, he returned to the captain who had already died from his wounds. He then assisted in getting as many off the sinking ship as possible. Him and the two officers he was with were the last three off the ship. And yet after swimming through burning oil and reaching shore. He refused to leave and continued to help rescue as many as possible from the water. There was no recognition for him at the time and he didn't ask for any. He was only mentioned as a black man that nobody knew who was. Wasn't until a local paper started an investigation and he was found that he was given a letter of recommendation. The public was outraged and pressed for recognition of his efforts. He from what I understand was still only given a Navy Cross, while those next to him were given Medals of Honor. Just a cook, no I don't think so... surely none of you here would do what he had done. And then after a short bond drive, he was assigned to the USS Indianapolis, and later the USS Liscome Bay a carrier that was torpedoed and sunk... Doris Miller was one of 644 to go down with the ship.
I'm sure that there are many as much deserved for the honor, but none any more so.

America needs the most reliable hypersonic missiles, submarines, intelligence network, jets and anything else. We need it all ASAP!
The most important thing is we need loyal men and women to operate and fight with these. We need to rid all of our services of woke and traitorous liberal scumbags. And we need a president to make the right calls.

Russia and China likely have dozens of munitions plants.
Doubt we have that, plus we are giving away all of our stockpiles. We don’t operate our plants and replenish capabilities at surge capacity. John, Fred and Ralph are clocking out at 4pm.

No disrespect to Miller. He was an American hero. But he was no POTUS, he was not a state, he was not a ship's name with 250 years of history behind it. Nor was he a high ranking officer or a major sea battle. His name was chosen for a capital ship simply and only because he was black. A simple case of discrimination if ever there was one. There has never been a capital ship named for a Chief, a Petty Officer, let alone a cook. The vessels of the Navy shall be named by the Secretary of the Navy under direction of the President according to the following rule: Sailing-vessels of the first class shall be named after the States of the Union, those of the second class after the rivers, those of the third class after the principal cities and towns ... example of present carriers: USS Nimitz (CVN 68) USS Dwight D Eisenhower USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) USS George Washington (CVN 73) USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) USS Harry S Truman USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) USS George HW Bush USS Gerald R Ford

Little man, you fool... you wouldn't know a vet, their problems, or their needs if your life depended on it. You are incapable of understanding their sincere service and duty. But yet you praise the lying piece of [bleep] of a president responsible for the most of it. And there is the fact that you've never been inclined to even mention doing anything for them. You, punk are a coward.
Phil Me? I don't shìt on veterans like you do because your commie bosses said to. You were the guy who snitched on others to get favor weren't you? Gayghost schietts on America because his commie bosses said to.

Phil That's what Zero said to those who didn't vote for him. That's what Biden said to the Michigan autoworker.

Believe the carriers are going the way of the Battleships and are obsolete. Here the USS New Jesey is headed into drydock this week for the hull to be repainted... wonder.
