I think all states in the confederacy should be allowed to leave the united states and start a new country. Since my state was a territory they should be allowed to choose which way they want to go. The north doesn’t want us so F’em.

Thank you, North Mountain. The Army specifically honors the Native American scouts with the naming of helicopters.

As a Yankee, let me say this (and I just voted NO in the poll). These men were apparently brave, competent and at the time were fighting for their”country.

This latest ploy of the grievance/offended industry is an outrage perpetrated by petty, cowardly sneaks who have never had even a tiny percentage of the character of the Confederate heroes on that list.

The US Navy could might consider naming a destroyer for CPL Chester Nez, USMC ...

(Or maybe a SIGINT listening ship)

Why not just go all the way and expel the former Confederate states from the Union? That’ll teach ‘em.

Having a defeatist attitude only helps the left to win. Their goal is to destroy our history but we must stand up and stop them. We don’t deserve to be called Americans if we passively sit by and see monuments to men who died fighting to protect their homes bulldozed.

I’m just waiting for some idiot liberal to start a movement to tear down the statues on Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia.

Beautiful statues of Robert E Lee, JEB Stuart, Stonewall Jackson, the Jefferson Davis memorial.
All gone if the liberal PC crowd has it’s way.

Maybe they’ll leave the Arthur Ashe statue?

Now you are getting to what Obama meant when he said/proposed ‘change’. At the time many people knew or could guess what he actually meant but there were thousands more who did know and wanted his ‘change’.

The whole country has gone full blown crazy and the RINO’s are caving faster than the French army.

I guess they have to completely eradicate all vestiges of our history in order to build their multi cultural utopia.

Sad times.

We already have a US Navy ship named after Gabby Giffords.
