Endless possibilities.
They will be renamed within the next 10 years.
When I was a little boy, I remember meeting a great great uncle who was being taken care of by my grand parents. He was past a hundred years of age when I met him. He was a teenager when he served under General Lee in the Army of Northern Virginia.
In retrospect that was poor planning certainly, but the south nearly attained their original goals. The North was losing it all, and badly, until US Grant came along.
The confederacy never planned a protracted war and that is in fact why the union won. The south simply was worn down by attrition and blockade. The union lost more troops but had the resources to fill the gaps.
I am offended by the name of the street in NYC, MALCOM X BOULEVARD. The name should be changed.
No marine that I know would tolerate changing Semper Fidelis to Semper Tolerare.
I’m all for naming sewage treatment plants after current civil rights “leaders”.
The people that do the changing won’t be Marines.
I am so glad that my father is not here to see what has become of his Navy. The USN is only second to the Air Force in embracing homosexuality, and not by much.
As much as I held out hope for the USMC, I cannot see it avoiding being taken down that path. I hope they can, but they will be forced to take it.
What liberals have done (and what they are GOING to do) to the once honorable military saddens me to no end.
Khrushchev had his “de-Stalinization” program. Today’s politicians have dreams of “de-salinization” of sea water.
There’s a Miles Davis Place on 77th St. now.
Well, moochelle did say we would have to change our history.
Does this mean we will have to retroactively rename the USS Robert E. Lee and the USS Stonewall Jackson, two of the Navy’s earliest nuclear subs?
Yes, and many of these officers were in the US Military before the war.
They were gentlemen and peers who had heart felt passion to defend their homes and communities.
The guy that wrote this doesn’t seem to know anything.
The internet and lsm is full of ingnorant knee-jerk reaction advocating stupid things related to the confederacy.
In Memphis they want to dig up Nathan Bedford Forrest. Really? Do they want to remove all headstones from confederate graves? Where will this lunacy end?
It is a purge straight out of the stalinist handbook. The can't undo history but they can make it go away. No student in the US school system has seriously studied US history from an objective point of view for 20 years now.
Everything named "Byrd" in West Virginia is named for a KKK recruiter ("Kleagle") ...
We need a graphic of that “Fag Flag” with a big brown smear up the middle ...
