Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn and writer Dustin Lance Black have condemned the decision by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a ship honoring the slain gay rights icon. Black criticized the move as divisive and a distraction from pressing civil rights issues, suggesting it reflects a strategy of 'divide and conquer.' Penn echoed this sentiment by deriding Hegseth's leadership. The renaming, which coincides with Pride Month, is seen as part of a broader shift towards aligning military assets with a conservative agenda, according to Pentagon statements.
It's meant to get us to react in ways that are self-centered so that we are further distanced from our brothers and sisters in equally important civil rights fights in this country.
I've never before seen a Secretary of Defense so aggressively demote himself to the rank of Chief PETTY Officer.
These guys are idiots... Pete Hegseth does not seem like a smart man... He seems small and petty.
The renaming is supposed to ensure alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture.
