I know I am a little behind on this one, but the USS Jimmy Carter, the nations newest nuclear sub, was commissioned on February 19th. Who the heck comes up with these names? I mean, come on. Old Jimmy was a terrible president. Sometimes I wonder if he even knew we had a military. He sure did not know how to use it. The Washington Examiner stated their bewilderment best:
This Sunday, the U.S. Navy will commission the deadliest nuclear-powered attack submarine in the world: the U.S.S. Jimmy Carter. This is like naming our new tanks after the Maginot Line or a missile after Gandhi. Former President Carter has his virtues, but naming a Seawolf attack sub after the author of Desert One is a joke.
Instead of linking to any serious discussion about this topic, I prefer to link to the humorous ones.
Frank J. over at IMAO has two funny posts here and here.
And of course I could never leave ScrappleFace out.
Enjoy.
