“The names were part of a reconciliation effort when the north defeated the south, and we became one nation again.”
That’s right.

I have no problem with taking the names of every confederate traitor off a base or ship, but not because of the current crap or being forced by communists.
That’s right.

Nice sounding story but very inaccurate.
You will be very hard pressed to find a Confederate monument erected within 30 years of Reconstruction.
As to the bases, the first ones were named in 1917.
This wasn't about soothing hurt feelings, it was about defying the push for equality.
