Buffalo Soldiers receive much deserved recognition at the expense of a Cival War Confederate General (Robert E Lee) What are your thoughts?

If this is truly an exercise in Political Correctness, and it is hard to believe it isn't, then the PC Police did not do their homework very well. The "Buffalo Soldiers" of the US Army's 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments and 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments got their moniker from the Native American peoples they were a party to subjugating during the Indian Wars. They were generally busy patrolling the West as (mostly) white settlers moved in and claimed land.
They were also engaged in the "Punitive Missions" crossing the border into Mexico in pursuit of Poncho Villa, and saw action in the Spanish-American War as well as WWi and WWII.

Warrant Officer, I sometimes have a problem with being "PC", this is one of those times...hoorah for Gen Lee and hoorah for the Buffalo Soldiers. Too bad for Ft Bliss, an army post as big as the state of Rhode Island, could not find a street, road, or trail that could have been paved or repaved in order to maintain history, instead of being "PC".

So the street name went from honoring a Confederate general to honoring Black Soldiers. Hmm, very interesting... Apparently they couldn't do both? Very timely and very interesting...
