Trump shoots down renaming Army posts named for Confederate leaders
This merits discussion from Congress
Of course the orange menace will be against it because it would make his base and their
collective heads explode. Can't have the racists think that their leader is against racism.
Pulling down confererate statues is a good first step. Renaming the bases seems the logical next step.
This is simply said by General Petraeus
"In a lengthy essay in The Atlantic on Tuesday, retired General David Petraeus argued in favor of renaming the bases, saying the "irony of
training at bases named for those who took up arms against the United States, and for the right to enslave others, is inescapable to anyone
paying attention."
"Plainly put, Lee, Bragg, and the rest committed treason, however much they may have agonized over it," wrote Petraeus. "The majority of
them had worn the uniform of the U.S. Army, and that Army should not brook any celebration of those who betrayed their country."
