If I thought for 1 minute that Bill Clinton had been a friend of the military I would have no issue with this.

I've learned that it is no longer worth the blood pressure points to worry or care about the names they paint on the side of a boat. Republicans are gonna try and name them all after crooked republicans and the democrats are gonna try and name them all after activists and pedophiles.
I don't care any more.

They may as well name these mother fuckers like a bass boat - besides it isn't going to impact the quality of the seaman down in the bowels...

Since ship names have been turned into as much an honor as the Noble Pizza Prize and the Residential Metal of Freedumb here are a few more names they should consider for the next round of new boats...

The Pier Pressure
The Rest a Shore
The Skipper’s Girl
Overboard
The Skipper’s Boi
What’s Up Dock?
Feeling Nauti
5 O’Clock Somewhere
The Starfish
The Wrinkled Starfish
Vitamin Sea
The Dreamboat
The Luv Boat
The Gravy Boat
The Aqua-holic
Fin and Tonic
Deez Knots
Ship Happens

...probably a few others but the more I think about it - fuck boats

I don't care much either but, IF they learn how to drive & stop running into each other, they could name some after the MEN of the Taffy-3 group in the Battle off Samar.

Just don't touch 'em, or suffer your own fate ...

$Bill literally cut our military to the tune of what amounted to the world's fourth biggest military (if I recall correctly).

He also crippled the Army by putting most of our combat power into the National Guard; a brilliant political move that ensured if we ever got into "the big one" we'd have automatic hometown support. There problem is that WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GUARD SPECIAL FORCES UNITS, the Guard never deployed combat units into independent combat operations.

We spent twenty years experimenting with his fuckery and it just flat-out didn't work. You can't expect a Guard unit to master the individual, squad, platoon, company, battalion, brigade collective tasks in 39 days when active duty units rarely achieve them in 365 days, even if the Guard units are in a five year year-of-readiness posture.

With an entire female crew. Then the ship's motto could be "we all went down on WJC"
