New MFD- Legacy At Sea
Thank you for being a member of this community! I really appreciate you.
The U.S. Navy is renaming the USNS Harvey Milk. It's now the USNS Oscar V. Peterson, named after a Medal of Honor recipient from WWII. The Pentagon says this is part of a broader effort to remove politics from military naming conventions.
In this video, I break down:
-Who Oscar V. Peterson was and why he earned the Medal of Honor
-Why the ship was originally named after Harvey Milk
-What the Department of Defense says about depoliticizing naming decisions
-Why this decision is sparking debate across both sides of the aisle
Is this about honoring military valor—or erasing progress? I’m not taking sides, just giving the facts and opening the floor to discussion.
