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.

Trump said he would not allow this to happen under his watch.

Something does not make sense here!
3 possibilities
1. Trump is an idiot in who he appoints.
2. Trump has always been a bad guy in disguise.
3. This is a trick to make the bad guys believe that things are going their way.

F***ing bunch of traitors.

They could name an aircraft carrier after Stacey Abrams.
David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler both voted for that bill so in that respect, I am glad they are gone.
That won't work. They'd need to quadruple its weight, make the midship 3 times the width of the rest of the craft, and poke a huge gap-like hole in the bow.
Name them all after Robert Byrd
