I remember the bumper stickers of “Vietnam veterans are sleeping on the street while a draft dodger sleeps in the White House” from the Clinton era. Like so many things that people used to be outraged about, that sort of thing became normalized as Republicans gave way and accepted that as the new moral order of things.

Biden then helped normalize it further by naming an aircraft carrier after Bill Clinton. Since there’s a vessel named after Harvey Milk, a pedophile, naming Navy vessels after sex predators has been covered.

As a basic matter of course, nothing should be named after living people. There should be no Obama streets. And aircraft carriers shouldn’t be named after George W. Bush, who is alive but at least served in some capacity, let alone Bill Clinton who not only dodged the draft, but appeared to be working to promote Soviet interests against the United States during the period. In typical leftist fashion, the Clintons would then weaponize ‘Russia’ against Trump even though they had a long career of serving ‘Mother Russia’.

If Pete Hegseth is confirmed he should get the ball rolling on restoring the historic names of bases like Ft. Hood, but it would be worth reconsidering some of the naming conventions. The U.S.S. Bill Clinton is not a vessel to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies, but a bad joke from the 90s.
