It would be more meaningful if they named it after Christina Green....  |

That would be so typical... She was one of those most liberal, anti-military members of Congress. |

I am GREATLY pleased over this VERY smart move.. An important election will be held in her district and a NON-POLITICAL person is being nominated by the local Democratic Party in that District.... Indeed it is a tribute to her heroism and the heroism of Ron Barber who ALSO should have a ship named after him.... I fully expect Ron Barber to prevail in that race and the Christening of this ship is a keystone moment and reclaiming that district from the mad and violent anger of the ultra Right - Wing... |

I kinda agree Cicero - I figured someone was gonna go there, but was really hoping nobody would. That's a low blow. |

Lighten up. There's a thread about a 5 year old that died of a brain tumor. I can't make light of a politician getting memorialized just because of being the victim of a crime? These people are self absorbed. I propose we have a USS Madaline in the fleet. She has touched more lives than Gabby Gifford. |

Kinda odd the left were going nuts blaming guns for violence but now they will name a ship that will probably have thousands of kills under it's name within the decade after the victim  Am I the only one who sees something wrong here. |

Maybe Henry can't see the difference between a military action (like killing Bin Laden) and a deranged criminal, who wouldn't have had access to a gun if the Right hadn't blocked reasonable gun legislation. |

No JMO I would think maybe a hospital wing that treats brain injuries or a place of support for those who have been the victim of a violent crime. |
