According to a number of former and current military members, however, the decision to name the LCS after Giffords was not, in fact, ?very appropriate.?

Retired Rear Admiral George Worthington, former commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command, told The Daily Caller that there are many people more worthy of a ship bearing their name.

?Here is the issue. There are a lot of dead Marines out there whose names could go on anything that appears to be an amphibious ship,? he said, explaining that a past recipient of the Medal of Honor, Dakota Meyer, might be a good candidate.

Worthington added his email ?inbox? has been filled with messages from military friends who are ?shocked and angered? by the decision.
