not sure i follow this. said man of peace was a navy officer and the article notes that he died wearing memorabilia from his service. do you have some reason to believe he would have agreed with you?
You didn't look at the giant photo of Milk in his naval officer's uniform under the headline in the linked article? He served voluntarily under commission in the Korean War. You're going to need better than a bald assertion to assume the Navy is doing one of its own a dishonor.
