Okay, I got thirteen comments in the Name My Band contest. Let's see what we can do here.
Today at the YMCA I was running and watching Fox News. The US Navy was dedicating a warship to President G.H.W. Bush.
Here's my question. Would you want something made for war named after you?

Great question. No answer yet. I'm mulling it over. Great question
If you're the president, you're commander in chief of all war activities. So I don't know why you would have a problem with a ship being named after you. Since I would never want to be president or commander in chief, I would not care to have a war ship named for me either. But would it not be inconsistent/hypocritical for a sitting president to object?

Somehow I missed that whole band thing. My family's band, the "Stone Cold Killers" is a much better name than yours. We are terrifying. And, yes, I have beat it on medium. Thank you.
I would not want a ship named after me. I would want a bomb named after me, preferably a low-yield nuclear weapon with bunker-busting capability. You know, something that might actually get used.
I have to say, I would be tempted to lobby that a particlar thing (made for war) be named for me, which, I suppose, is a yes. I'd prefer a jet fighter
If in fact, we are engaged in daily supernatural battle, how is a ship of metal being named for a President or other statesperson different than the McArthur Study Bible being named for John McArthur?
the armed services have lighter uniform standards than john macarthur. sorry, todd.
o e o e oe oe oghhh
I would prefer to give my battleship the name of Pamela Friedman. Very appropriate. She was a fighter.
