Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and Milk star Sean Penn criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for ordering the United States Navy to remove the name of slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk from oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk.
Black and Penn won Academy Award for their work in the 2008 film Milk, and both criticized Hegseth for ordering the removal of Harvey Milk’s name from the ship, describing him as not seeming “like a smart man, a wise man” or knowledgeable, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“I’ve never before seen a Secretary of Defense so aggressively demote himself to the rank of Chief PETTY Officer,” Penn said in an e-mail to the outlet.

Another celebrity with a huge obnoxious beak throwing his weight around. It is hard not to hate someone with a nose like that.

Harvey Milk was kicked out of the Navy when he served as an officer because he went after young male sailors for sex. There sane person would think that naming a naval ship after a lowlife like that is a good thing.

Sean Penn angry? Sorry, but this begs the question, when has he ever been happy?
Sorry Spicoli, but we don't name our Navy ships after a person mostly famous for his degeneracy and political activism. A person who never did anything substantial in his prior military service, other than show up for work on time for four years. I can't imagine how terrible it's been for sailors to have to admit to having served aboard this ship. I'll not sully this salon with the most applicable and typical military jokes that would be hurled at them.
Sean Penn should go ask his buddies in Cuba or Venezuela to name one of their vessels of war after a flaming homosexual... I'm sure they'd be "thrilled." /s

Who gives a good dump what Pennhas to say.
They won the academy award in a woke Hollywood that is mostly queer and pedophilic.
BFD.

Well if anyone could know about the Navy it's Salty dog Sean. I remember his Herculean efforts after Katrina when he bolded set sail to save NOLA. And as all good Navy men do, he ignored the basic and sank his command by leaving the plug out. And thus, like so many DeMS-13, he caused the real rescuers to abandon their primary role (saving Katrina victims) to saving worthless Hollyweird morons like Penn. The Navy, in honor of Penn, should rename every ship that is sunk to make a reef Penn. Sink 'em Sean would befit his legacy.

I've occasionally needed the services of plumbers, HVAC techs, carpenters and assorted other people, but NEVER have I required the intellectually rabid voice of ANY actor/actress....

The Harvey Milk was an "oiler" ship" That had to be the biggest running joke in the US Navy. Even brain-fried Penn should have stayed away from this one.

I was offended when they named the ship after Milk. Ships are named after presidents, states, cities, war heros and people of extraordinary accomplishments. Having sex with the same sex and being a councilman for the city of SF hardly qualifies. This ship naming was done specifically to irritate Republicans. Not all of us are onboard with the liberal LGBT agenda.
