The Pentagon is moving forward with plans to rename military bases that honor the Confederacy, naming half of the panel charged with leading the effort.
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on Friday appointed Sean McLean, a White House associate director; Joshua Whitehouse, a White House liaison to the Defense Department; Ann Johnston, acting assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs; and Earl Matthews, principal deputy general counsel for the Army.
They will serve on the ponderously-named Commission on the Naming of Items of the Department of Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States of America.
The remaining members of the eight-member panel will be appointed by the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.
The commission, charged with renaming 10 Army bases that honor Confederate leaders within three years, is mandated under a $740 billion defense policy bill that went into effect when Congress voted on New Year’s Day to override Trump’s veto.

New building signage already ordered for The Malcolm X Pentagon. Doesn’t sound right, does it.
Still can’t get used to the H. Rap Brown AFB replacing MacDill in Florida. He was used to flying high on dope, though.
When will they demand that Corpus Christi, Texas be renamed?
Along with St. Louis, St. Paul, and many places in California named for saints.
Washington DC and Washington state will need to be renamed.
Many other places will have to be renamed too. What about Baltimore? Did Lord Baltimore have a 21st century politically correct worldview?
We know Columbus Ohio has got to go.
Washington and Lee University has to be cleansed.
It will be a never ending process if we go down that road.
I hear Ft Bragg is about to become Ft George Floyd, and Ft Hood is becoming Ft Al Sharpton.
Fort Homosexual
Fort Pedophile
Fort Satanist
Fort Pelosi
Fort McConnell
Fort Sewage
Fort Schiff
Fort Slime
Fort Garbage
Etc....
Stupid, inane, useless chit. Probably cost a fortune to do this, too.
Confederates are the interim target; just don’t forget that anything that happened before the year 2008 you can not be proud of.
That is the gospel according to St. Michelle.
The naming rights to what used to be called America is up for discussion.
Cowards.
Ping
Christopher Miller is FOR this ?? Trump made him the acting defense chief and he immediately turns on Trump ??
Fort Bragg will probably wind up as Fort Harvey Milk; Fort A.P. Hill gets to be Camp Schumer.....
Like reading a Kurt Schlichter novel....
Further proof that the Republic is dead.
I foresee the names Fort Harvey Milk, Fort Rachel Dolezal, Fort Barney whatsisname, etc.
Let’s rename the Capitol The Chicken Coop.
Hi.
I never went to BCT at Ft. 0bama.
I never went to AIT at Ft. Milk.
I never went to a Ft. named Wakanda. For duty, TDY or anything else.
So, I was never in the Army.

No, this is now law. R’s still follow law.
I see a compromise. We could rename Ft. Hood: Al Sharpton Hood
