Doris Miller...LONG Overdue

[sebastian91]

Perhaps someone should compile a list of all of the warships built and named in the last 75 years and then ask why it took 75 years to appropriately honor "one of our most heroic war fighters of all time" and "Legend in Navy".

Heroic Patriot. Well deserved

Nothing says Superpower like an American aircraft carrier. Miller time.

For perspective, American Carriers are the most powerful Ships of the Line...

ON THE PLANET. Big deal for a man of big character.

Doris Miller one of our most heroic war fighters of all time. Legend in Navy.

If you don't know his story, you better call somebody.

great development and apporpriate tribute to an American Hero..........but people's cognitive dissonance regarding racism, particulalrly some white people, leads them to develop foolish conclusions that makes them FEEL better but also makes them LOOK foolish

 

[TreOFive]

Also, we will know that we as a society are making an actual turn for the better with regards to this when we can stop counting 1sts......



If this goes over your head...then I am truly sorry

Go Canes!!!

Ok. You forgot to add intersectional and patriarchy.

Just trying to help.

For added perspective, since we are lecturing on history and all...

If memory serves, Leo Harmon had a destoyer named after him in...

1943....yes...1943...

For his heroism during battle of Guadalcanal (Leyte Gulf?)...

If you don't know about him either, you better call somebody.

It truly boggles the mind. As soon as they print those $20s with Harriet Tubman on them, the Klan will evaporate like in that Avengers movie.

Shouldn't be hard to get rid of 4 rednecks . There are more trannies in the country than klansmen .

Because it just did. He was long overshadowed by other prominent names.

Thankfully, our Navy and Nation course corrected.

I'll take the W as a positive step forward.

 

[sebastian91]

Yeah, "it just did".

This dude was named doris?

So.... what took em so long to name one after a black guy?

They did in 1943.

This isn't about Millee's tan, but what is actions warranted.

I was actually just being argumentative for no reason.

Dude is an American hero... which we need more of nowadays. And our kids need to hear more about.

They ran out of recent white presidents who weren't impeached to name them after.

100% .

So many try to use academic and deep dictionary words to sound smart about history, yet they know none of it.

Even in a segregated Navy (absolutely abhorrent to today's war fighters--can't even comprehend), he did what was right and defended his shipmates.

D Miller is an inspiration for all generations.

I thought they were gonna be naming em after white draft dodging presidents w shin splints

So this makes this country not racist lol can’t be serious

It's the example-of-one geniuses. Same crowd who use a cold day in February as mocking evidence against climate change.
