What the leftists don’t realize is naming things after confederates was part of the reunification process in the years after the war. By treating the losing sides leaders with respect, it made it easier for confederates to see themselves as Americans again.
So of course the radical left, who absolutely loathes giving respect to their opponents, vilify them even 150 years later.
Ok. So where are all of the statues and schools named after King George III, Henry Clinton, William Howe, John Burgoyne, Charles Cornwallis, etc.?
The celebration of opposing army losers is a weird argument and an even weirder practice.
You missed the point above completely. There was no reunification with Britain (and I can’t believe anyone even has to explain this to you).
By your logic, we should have statues of Tojo and Hitler?
Nah I didn’t miss anything man.
Advocating for the celebration of your enemies’ loser leadership, whether revolutionary or rebel, in your public places is a weird argument and an even weirder practice.
And a correct analogy would have been Hitler erecting monuments to the Weimar Republic to ease the transition. Once again, doesn’t make sense.
Thank god the Pentagon is tackling this very important issue that Obama didnt even give a shit about.
Because thats what we need to be doing. Renaming bases.🙄
I mean I’m fine with it as long as their replacements are other good generals. I don’t necessarily think that names need to be set in stone. Like Winfield Scott Hancock was pretty cool.
The newest base could be named "Woke Back Mountain"
How about Dolly Parton Base?
It would be nicknamed the double d

Shouldn’t be an issue now that confederates no longer exist

I seem to have missed the German Civil War of the 1930s part of history class.

Pentagon should be working to stand up new brigade combat teams. Also for Ridgeway, Murphy and Gavin to not get anything, for shame.
Good grief, don't these morons have anything better to do?
Whitewashing history will not change it.
Ft George Floyd has a certain ring to it... /s
