BREAKING: WE ARE RESTORING THE NAMES OF FORT PICKETT, HOOD, GORDON, RUCKER, POLK, A.P. HILL, AND ROBERT E. LEE
It’s a good thing.
About time.
Can we have our statues back too?
Fort Lee, welcome back!!
Fort Bragg was renamed back to Fort Bragg, but this time supposedly named some other unrelated Bragg considered non-problematic.
Nobody gave that aho, Joe Pedo he had the authority to change them. He didn’t.
good, no one calls Fort Hood anything else anyway.
The whole thing was stupid pandering to BLM rioters.
“Can we have our statues back too?”
I wish. I got to see Monument Avenue in Richmond way back in ‘91. Stopped at each statue.
Truly incredible and a shame to see what was done. At the very least, the city of Richmond could have given those statues to a third party who would have taken care of them.
But let’s look back since the statues were torn down. What has gotten better for the blacks in Richmond since then? Are they better off economically? Is Richmond experiencing less crime? Is there less poverty and out of wedlock childbirths among the blacks in Richmond?
Ft. Benning too.
With all the paperwork with the name of those bases, changing the names was absurd and sheer ignorance.
You would think that Democrats would embrace their history.
I’m glad that Trump reversed the Woke purge, but personally, I wouldn’t restore Hood’s name to anything.
Monument Avenue was always very impressive!
The men in blue and grey uniforms created an environment for winning the war, but then moral and intellectual dwarfs in suits blundered away the opportunity to secure the lasting peace. There was no one in authority to say, “Oh my God. What have we done to ourselves?” Mao Tse-tung, echoing Sun Tzu, stated “It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed, while war is politics with bloodshed”. After the years of bloodshed and Lincoln’s assassination, there would be no ‘new birth of freedom” as the political component of the war fell in ruins and the United States lost the Civil War
. The Star-Spangled Banner and the Confederate Battle Flag decorating the graves of those who served would not elicit inspired statesmanship. This national catastrophe would not prompt consideration of first principles. The vision delegates to the Constitutional Convention saw for continually unfolding promises of individual freedom was betrayed. The Civil War monuments to Union and Confederate soldiers and sailors testify to the extraordinary sincerity, suffering, and courage of those who served. They should also remind us of the enormous failures of politicians to avert the war, to properly value the sacrifices made, and then to derive so little from the ashes of destruction. Their descendants don’t do much better today.
Pretty late in the day to be posting this:
First chuckle of my day.
I never stopped calling it Ft. Hood.
What’s so good about naming them after a bunch of democrat losers?
