Front Page Magazine: Biden Names Aircraft Carrier After Draft Dodger and Sex Predator
The normalization of naming military vessels after living politicians, such as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, is criticized as inappropriate. The author argues that no living person should have structures named after them, especially those with controversial pasts, like draft dodgers.
