Should US military bases named after Confederates be renamed?

LEAVE THE NAMES ALONE........Sorry, I had to say that. Those great names of great men are not hurting a soul, so they should just leave them be. Like SFC Jason Boyd said, they are American regardless of who they fought for or with.

American history is history whether we like it or not. It is there to learn from (hopefully). We still study their tactics for applicability against modern enemies; why would re-name them now?

Why do people ask these questions? Why would you want to change history. What happened already happened. You can't change it. But you can learn from it. Take what happened and learn from it, but never change it. Because you either make the future better or worse.

No.

No. Whether we like it or not these men are an integral part of our military history. They have made us who we are today and going forward. How would the world feel if we just buried the history of the holocaust or other such events?

Hell NO!!

All these Confederate generals having posts named after them were not a problem before now ! Most of us if not all of us military either active or veterans have at one time or another boasted about where we trained as new recruits or where we were stationed at ! It was never a problem ! Now because of a confederate flag should it become a problem ? In my opinion just leave well enough alone . Sure the Confederate flag shouldn't be flying from a state building . Just like any other country that we fought against and won , we don't fly their flag on any state building that I know of . But as far those military posts with Confederate generals names on them I say let them stay just as they are .

No, I am sick of the political correctness storm that has taken over America.

Usually the base in that state is named after a General that was from that state. NO matter if it's a Confederate or Union General it's all part of our history as Americans. Most Soldiers didn't own slaves, they fought for their state and the patriotism of being an American. No matter the name of the Base, Post or Camp it reflects our history as Americans and NO we should not change the names of the bases.

We have to embrace who we are as a Nation. The Civil War is our history. We reflect on the past to garner a more prosperous future. I don't feel that America as a country has done this yet. We continue to focus on ways to divide ourselves and not unite our country.This turmoil through time has forged us into the United States of America....United....but how united are we really? I am by no means agreeing with slavery, racism, bigotry, sexism, or any of the ugly things that are in our past, that we as a country, have participated in. Trying to eradicate all confederate flags or anything to do with the confederacy while allowing our National Colors to be desecrated, and our freedoms trampled upon is somewhat backwards. We should work harder at becoming unified, honoring our veterans, establishing true patriotism, and defeating the evils lurking amongst us waiting for the opportune moment to do harm to our families and our way of life.
