    Question Rename Military Bases Named After Confederate Leaders?

    Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy is now "open" to renaming the service's 10 bases and facilities that are named after Confederate leaders, an Army spokesperson told POLITICO, in a reversal of the service's previous position.

    Defense Secretary Mark Esper also supports the discussion, the spokesperson said.

    More...
    Hold your horses, Mark Esper! Trump will fire you if you start messing with Confederate emblems.








    Those tweets should get something started.
    There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.

    I personally never knew Bragg, Benning and Hood were Confederate soldiers. Maybe we should continue to glorify the names of traitors on our military installations. We wouldn't want to offend any traitors.

    They were soldiers for a sovereign nation and served that nation with distinction until it collapsed. Most Confederate generals were more skilled and more civilized than Yankee generals in the war of Northern Aggression.

    Sounds like they were a bunch of losers. I don't want my military bases named after losers. I like winners.

    I thought spelling out the sarcasm and pointing out the irony took away from the joke. I'll lay it out nice and simple for the smooth-brained greybacks in the crowd next time.
