It’s a start.......
Excellent.
In Arizona I lived at the corner of Jeb Stuart and Robert E. Lee.
God bless the Army for this one...
12 months ago the streets would’ve been renamed to “Che Street” or “Lenin Blvd”...or maybe “Diversity Avenue”.
OUTSTANDING!
Keep up the good work!
Wasn’t Ft Totten NY built under the supervision of General Lee? I guess we’ll have to tear it down. I always admired the portrait of Stonewall Jackson that was on one of the walls in the O Club. If we start removing names because a few people are offended, then we have to remove all the military names, especially those from 1800 - 1900. Jackson, Scott, Crook, Custer, Howard, Sheridan, Miles, Terry, Pershing et.al.. There are many who feel they were offended by their actions against a minority. What they did or didn’t do, is part of our history regardless if it is right or wrong. $#*+ happens.
Both Lee and Jackson served at Fort Hamilton before their decision to take up arms against the United States of America.
Good. I’m proud of my ARMY.
Emperor Hirohito was also an inextricable part of U.S. military history. But I thought we were supposed to honor those who fought for the United States of America, not insurrectionists who fought so that rich overlords could savagely beat men to within inches of their lives for daring to read the bible.
And don’t give me any “States’ rights” nonsense. The South demanded the Northern states participate in their demonic abominations.
Thank God. A little sanity at last...
Memo to Mitch Landrieu:
Confederate generals will be remembered long after you are nothing more than a small footnote in the chapter on New Orleans history titled “Losers we have known.”
The whole base is already named after a black dude.
