I knew this would happen. Just sooner than expected.
Demands to renumber and name units of the First Cav and rename the division are sure to follow. Hard to find any major US Army officer in the 19th century, other than Grant, who wasn't in at least one Indian War. Sherman was not in an Indian campaign as a company grade officer but was the overall commander for the major operations against the Plains Indians. So all their statues have to go and the history books have to be rewritten. This poison is spreading fast. Time to start defending historical figures and historical memory period and stop sniping about how Lee was a traitor and how many slaves who owned when. The common fabric of American history is being shredded as we watch.
