When are they going to change politicians names? Jackson Lee must be as embarrassed as hell with the handle she has?
Isn’t it amazing what hold a paltry 13% of the population can have on the other 87%????
I think that the UNINFORMED population ‘thinks’ that these bases were name by the US Army with those names and, as is with the statues and the rest of what the LEFT wants us to forget down the memory hole, there is a considerable history that is ignored. Remember, the LEFT is, as is shown in this past decade, completely unwilling to put their REVISIONIST efforts up to a popular vote. Ever wonder why?
Camps Jackson, Bragg & Benning came from WW1 with the incredible need for large spaces for the AEF needed for that war. Polk, Hill & Hood came from the same needs in WW2. The names were indigenous to their localities, chose from names suggested by those states. Let us at least remember that NONE WERE NAMED AS/FOR any racist or segregation purpose. [Note: Fort Jackson (SC) is not being renamed (yet) as President Andrew Jackson, while a slave owner, predated the US Civil War AND even quashed an early succession attempt by South Carolina in the ‘Nullification Crisis’.]

The Robert E. Lee MemorialArlington House is the nation’s memorial to Robert E. Lee. It honors him for specific reasons, including his role in promoting peace and reunion after the Civil War. In a larger sense it exists as a place of study and contemplation of the meaning of some of the most difficult aspects of American history: military service; sacrifice; citizenship; duty; loyalty; slavery and freedom.
Not a vet. Still think it’s a stupid idea.
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?
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.
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.
Some people aren’t going to be satisfied no matter what is done. Nothing will ever be “enough”.
Why don’t these cowards take on the state of New York and New York City, named after a major slave owner.
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.
He’s so stupid he didn’t know Robert E. Lee was a Confederate. And yet, we should value his opinion?
Some how Fort Jive doesn’t sound right.
The very first sentence he advertises his ignorance.
How I’ll educated does one have to be to not know that Lee was the confederate general?
I’m torn on this.
On one side of my family, I am descended from Free Soilers. My late grandfather was NOT supportive of naming army bases, monuments, etc. after rebel slavers (his term).
He found it an insult to those who fought and died wearing the blue. I remember he thought it would be a like French base being named “Ft Rommel” or something like that.
In the same line, we have family that served in the Indian Wars. There used to be a lot of bases and military equipment named after the various tribes. Over the last 30 years, most of those are gone now and with it, the memory of those conflicts.
Slavery is a stain on the nation, and one it cost a lot of blood to remove. But we need to move on.
