Army Was Reviewing More Than Confederate Base Names, Officials Reveal

They're pissed because this means no statues of Trump unless Trump pays for 'em which we know he's too tight to do even for himself.

Trump anyway will have to start a Go Fund Me for his legal defense and bail.

And no statues of Trump in public places also means no statues of Putin either.

These CSA guys who are also The Rowers are double seriously bummed at this point.

Wrong.

These bases are named after generals who fought and killed American soldiers. Except for Robert E. Lee, these generals were terrible. They were not skilled tacticians at all.

These were named back in WW1 and WW2 as away of offering a peace agreement with racist southern whites who didn't appreciate integration of the United States military.

How about if we name them after WINNING generals and ones that actually tried to built this country rather than tearing it down?

They're named after generals who served with distinction in The United States Army, as well. Why are you trying to purge history?

Fort Benning – Henry Benning. ...
Fort Bragg – Braxton Bragg. ...
Fort Gordon – John Brown Gordon. ...
Fort Hood – John Bell Hood. ...
Fort Lee – Robert E. Lee. ...

You tell me how each of these served with distinction with the U.S military. There's your challenge.

Pickett:
Pickett was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the 8th Infantry Regiment. He soon gained national recognition in the Mexican–American War when he carried the American colors over the parapet during the Battle of Chapultepec in September 1847. Wounded at the base of the wall, Pickett's friend and colleague Lieutenant James Longstreet handed him the colors. Pickett carried the flag over the wall and fought his way to the roof of the palace, unfurling it over the fortress and announcing its surrender.[14] He received a brevet promotion to captain following this action.[15]

Lee:
Lee distinguished himself in the Mexican–American War (1846–1848). He was one of Winfield Scott's chief aides in the march from Veracruz to Mexico City. He was instrumental in several American victories through his personal reconnaissance as a staff officer; he found routes of attack that the Mexicans had not defended because they thought the terrain was impassable.

He was promoted to brevet major after the Battle of Cerro Gordo on April 18, 1847.[34] He also fought at Contreras, Churubusco, and Chapultepec and was wounded at the last. By the end of the war, he had received additional brevet promotions to lieutenant colonel and colonel, but his permanent rank was still captain of engineers, and he would remain a captain until his transfer to the cavalry in 1855.

Bragg:
On March 1, 1845, Bragg and his artillery company were ordered to join Gen. Zachary Taylor in the defense of Texas from Mexico. He won promotions for bravery and distinguished conduct in the Mexican–American War, including a brevet promotion to captain for the Battle of Fort Brown (May 1846), to major for the Battle of Monterrey (September 1846), and to lieutenant colonel for the Battle of Buena Vista (February 1847). Bragg was also promoted to captain within the regular army in June 1846. He became widely admired (professionally, not personally) in Taylor's army for the discipline and drill of his men and the newly tried tactics of light artillery that proved decisive in most of his engagements against the Mexican Army. But it was Buena Vista that brought him national fame. His timely placement of artillery into a gap in the line helped repulse a numerically superior Mexican attack.

Hood:
Hood was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the 4th U.S. Infantry, served at Fort Jones, California, and later transferred to the 2nd U.S. Cavalry in Texas, where he was commanded by Col. Albert Sidney Johnston and Lt. Col. Robert E. Lee.[10] While commanding a reconnaissance patrol from Fort Mason on July 20, 1857, Hood sustained the first of many wounds that marked his lifetime in military service— an arrow through his left hand during action against the Comanches at Devil's River, Texas.[11] He was later promoted to first lieutenant in August 1858

Beauregard:
During the Mexican–American War, Beauregard served as an engineer under General Winfield Scott. He was appointed brevet captain for the battles of Contreras[9] and Churubusco and major for Chapultepec, where he was wounded in the shoulder and thigh. He was noted for his eloquent performance in a meeting with Scott in which he convinced the assembled general officers to change their plan for attacking the fortress of Chapultepec. He was one of the first officers to enter Mexico City. Beauregard considered his contributions in dangerous reconnaissance missions and devising strategy for his superiors to be more significant than those of his engineer colleague, Captain Robert E. Lee, so he was disappointed when Lee and other officers received more brevets than he did.

The 600,000 Union Soldiers are still dead KIA.

The number of black Americans lynched or simply killed before and after is uncountable.

Moreover your Perpetual War of the Lost Cause continues.

In the Civil War? No wonder you don't have a problem with the erasure of history. You don't know a ****ing thing about it, anyway. :lamo

You have no clue about why.

Just as you have no clue about the origin of the name of U.S. Army Rangers.

You have yet to make your case about the Rangers.

The reason is obvious, ie, you don't have a case to make.
