The low-IQ troglodytes are in charge now.
Here’s what vets say?
So the story is a narrative heavily pushed by the race baiting Left…
Not regular rank and file vets.
Is there an Association of Caucasian Veterans yet?
Black Americans and Latino Americans each represent about 17% of active-duty service members, according to the Defense Department. Meanwhile, white Americans make up around 70% of active-duty service members, while Americans of Asian descent make up roughly 5%.

Changing the name of the Ft. Bragg military base is like kneeling-nothing you can do to stop it.
Now if it’s a town, say Ft. Bragg, Ca. the voters will have something to say. It’s pushback. It’s Mao’s cliche with bayonets about probing forward until you hit a rock.
Along the same lines, I remember reading a long time ago that part of the reason for so many statues in the South was because the North did not return the remains of many Confederate soldiers, so local governments and groups built many of the statues to relatives would have a place to gather to remember their lost ones. Will there be a movement to return these remains to their hometowns now?
Cultural Revolution is in full swing.
with malice towards none.
Why name military bases at all? Just number them, like New York City public schools.
So Kingsberry and others were so ignorant that they had no idea who the bases were named for. Then someone or something made them aware that they should be aggrieved by historical names. Who or what takes on the mighty Marxist job of agitating the masses? Is it RACIST to make black people feel put upon by magnifying names, which have become essentially meaningless due to mass ignorance, into yet one more thing to feel oppressed over?
There are plenty of incredibly courageous soldiers and sailors in American history. Why not name a naval base after Doris Miller? Where's the Army or Air Force base named after this man:
[Edwin Vance] Bain was a remarkable man whose first brush with fame came on April 18, 1942, when he flew as a gunner on the daring Doolittle Raid against the Japanese homeland. Forced to bail out over China after the raid, Bain was rescued by local farmers. He later received the Military Order of China from Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Soong May-ling. But Bain was already a hero. Earlier in the war, he had rushed back into a burning aircraft after a training accident to save the lives of fellow crew members at great risk to his own life, for which he received the prestigious Soldier’s Medal. Reassigned to the Mediterranean Sea area—and after having flown the required number of missions to qualify him for a return trip home—Bain volunteered to fly one last more mission. He was helping fill out a crew for a pilot friend who needed one more mission to earn his own trip home. After bombing the rail yards outside of Rome, Italy, their plane took a direct hit and began going down rapidly. Sacrificing his own chance to parachute to safety, Bain made sure each of his fellow crew members got out of the stricken aircraft. By the time the last man was out, the plane was too low for him to jump. Bain and the plane crashed into the sea and were never found. For his supreme sacrifice, Bain was posthumously awarded an unprecedented second Soldier’s Medal.
The north did not have that many remains.
The north did send teams of people down to Virginia battlefields to survey the battlefields after rumors had been heard at there were bones and remains laying on top of the ground in the positions that they died in.
So teams were sent to the battle grounds in Virginia, I do not know about any other states that this happened in, continuing... these teams collected the remains of the Union Soldiers and I guess they were able to determine by clothing and accoutrements and they took only union soldiers remains back North...
and left the southern remains where they lay. They didn’t make any attempt to bury them they just left them where the lay.
I’ve seen cemeteries in Virginia that have perhaps five Confederate soldiers graves in them, and their graves are still distinguishable although the gravesite might require attending every now and then by interest groups.
Some people aren’t going to be satisfied no matter what is done. Nothing will ever be “enough”.
Will they have to change your birth certificate~
…..I gave birth at a hospital named after Roosevelt…..
….I would have preferred Lee
Why don’t these cowards take on the state of New York and New York City, named after a major slave owner.
I’m probably grandfathered in. I guess it does make me sort of illegitimate. :-) This shouldn’t be allowed. My dad served a good bit of his service there and he joined back when that was what men did if they were able-bodied men.
I’ll never forget a number of years ago when the school district my husband and I worked for decided to get rid of any/all Indian mascots.
My husband said at his school a brand-new floor had been recently laid down in the gymnasium with the old, “racist” Indian logo embedded in the floor (The Braves). It was scraped up immediately and replaced - at enormous cost (at a time we were told there was “no money” for teaching supplies, janitorial services, books or standard supplies like pens and pencils).
The brand new scoreboard was replaced as well - along with every single sign, all school stationery and any other mention of the former mascot. All of it was memory-holed.
Of course, the taxpaying public who fund this never heard of this.
Amen!
He’s so stupid he didn’t know Robert E. Lee was a Confederate. And yet, we should value his opinion?
