The U.S. Navy just dedicated its newest vessel to known sexual predator and gay politician Harvey Milk because he ‘made a difference.’<\/b>
\nThe leaders of the U.S. military have learned from decades of their failed wars that diversity is strength. So they\u2019ve named a shiny new ship after known predator of underage boys Harvey Milk. The U.S. Navy launched the USNS Harvey Milk in San Diego on Saturday, named for the first openly homosexual man elected to public office in California. Milk has an even stronger legacy, though: He was a pederast. \u201cHe made a difference,\u201d said Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro during Saturday\u2019s ceremony. \u201cThat\u2019s the kind of naval leader that we need.\u201d The politician had a proclivity for male minors, who included 16-year-old Jack Galen McKinley. Milk\u2019s biographer Randy Shilts wrote about the predator\u2019s runaway lover McKinley in his biography, \u201cThe Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk.\u201d \u201cSixteen-year-old McKinley was looking for some kind of father figure.\u2026 At 33, Milk was launching a new life, though he could hardly have imagined the unlikely direction toward which his new lover would pull him,\u201d Shilts wrote. According to his biographer, Milk would prime troubled, underage boys and young men with booze and drugs, then coerce them into sexual acts. One of his young boyfriends,25-year-old Jack Lira, was just another \u201cyoung waif with substance-abuse problems\u201d for Milk to prey on, according to Shilts. The young man hanged himself from Milk\u2019s back porch at the politician\u2019s Henry Street residence in 1978. The Obama administration was the first to propose naming a ship after Milk, who was dishonorably discharged from the Navy after he was interrogated about his sexual behavior in 1955. The ex-naval officer worked his way up the political ladder and was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Milk\u2019s questionable morals manifested in his political career as well. Milk\u2019s early campaign was funded in part by Jim Jones, infamous cult leader of the Peoples Temple and orchestrator of the mass murder-suicide in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18,1978. Milk openly praised the cult, spoke at the Temple on numerous occasions, and wrote Jones personally. \u201cRev. Jim, it may take me many a day to come back down from the high that I reach today. I found something dear today,\u201d Milk wrote to Jones after he hosted a rally at the Temple. \u201cI found a sense of being that makes up for all the hours and energy placed in a fight. I found what you wanted me to find. I shall be back. For I can never leave.\u201d Jones was also a known sexual molester and abused his male followers often. You\u2019d think celebrated gay rights activist Milk learned his lesson after 900 of Jones\u2019s followers were brutally massacred in Guyana, but he didn\u2019t. He doubled down on his support for the cult leader. After the mass suicide, Milk called Jones\u2019s commune \u201ca great experiment that didn\u2019t work. I don\u2019t know, maybe it did.\u201d Despite his obvious affinity for criminal behavior, Milk had one thing going for him: He was gay. And that\u2019s apparently all today\u2019s U.S. military cares about. Once U.S. generals were famous for their skill and courage. Today\u2019s incompetent military generals, however, prioritize degenerate moral preening over warfighting. Instead of training soldiers, making good use of taxpayer dollars, or winning wars, the military has embarked on a leftist political crusade. It doesn\u2019t matter that a sexual predator\u2019s name is now stamped across a Navy vessel, it matters that a gay activist gets his spotlight. To top it all off, the ship was christened by Paula M. Neira, the first transgender Navy veteran to have his DD-214 discharge documentation updated to reflect false pronouns. Neira said his greatest service to the country and Navy came after hanging up his uniform. Here\u2019s what a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs writeup on Neira says about that post-military \u201cservice\u201d: \u201cWhen the Harvey Milk sails, she will send a very strong message both domestically and around the globe to everybody that believes in freedom and justice and liberty, that there is a place for you in this family,\u201d Neira said.<\/p>\n
