What suggestions do you have for renaming DoD installations honoring Confederate officers?

It is history,leave it alone.

Renaming these Posts just to humor the “woke” crowd is just wrong. Those honored by having the Posts named after them, were American Soldiers, whether they they fought for The Confederate States or the Union. Erasing American History is an incredible Wrong.

IMO, shud be directly USA military. But must break "military" up into each component. Maybe put defined components into a totem pole list, top to bottom. Then decide from which (again) component a name is drawn. May need to adopt a weighting system. Am I being vague enuf..? $ : ^ )

Leave religimum figures out a it.

We should not have bases named after traitors. How about we find some significant leaders from modern history to honor? Fort Powell, for example....

With apologies to Orwell, but since we are rewriting history by removing unperson's names, i think Fort Ogilvie would be doubleplusgood.

Don't.

Suggest the Posts be named for personnel at strategic level. Such as Powell, Ike, Patton. Buildings and next tactical level. Missed in most of the social complaint is WHY the bases were named the way they were. Did not deal with the social issues. Dealt with the individual had contributed (no matter what their side) at that level. Medal of Honor Winners had buildings, sections of bases named after them most often. There is the Strategic, Over all Tactical, and the lower level (Field) Tactical. Most contributions at that level should be a factor in the decision. Bases were often used as a moral boost in earlier Wars to put the idea into soldiers heads they were being that fighting spirit. Had little to with social ideas. Had to do with giving them the fighting spirit. Have always felt you could plan for honing troops for what you want them to do. NOT what you wish would have happened in the past. Bad Strategy otherwise. In fact when done otherwise, usually turns out to be a mistake.

It’s a waste of racist me and money. I’m done not care. If we’re more focused on training our Warriors to fight instead of this clearly BS identity political move, maybe we’ll actually win the next war that Pedo Joe gets us in. Imagine, BECAUSE OF PEDO JOE, we LOST the war in Afghanistan! ANYONE that wishes to “rename” these places hates America, hates Americans, and needs to shut up.

The key word is "honoring". If they deserved it in the first place, they still do. It's honorable to respect an enemy, especially if that enemy acted honorably, consistent with the demands of warfare. Wouldn't you expect respect from an enemy if you were defeated, if you acted honorably, unless the enemy was a despicable person who could not respect anyone (even himself)?. I enjoyed the Spanish novel "El Abencerraje", in which the famous Spanish hero El Cid, and the Moorish enemy commander were excruciatingly polite and gracious whenever they met. Don't we now honor some of the vanquished Indian leaders we fought with so bitterly? Didn't we open our arms to Werner von Braun after World War II, even though he conscientiously worked to invent rockets for the Nazis? I am especially saddened by any sentiment toward dishonoring Robert E. Lee, who was loved and revered by those on both sides in the Civil War. He was well known as a respectable, respecting gentleman, as well as being an inspired warrior! As soon as he finally recognized that the Confederate side would fail, he surrendered to avoid further bloodshed, on BOTH sides.

Of course, if the namesakes were later found to have tarnished their names, that's different. And I don't mean about slavery or some racial bias; that was commonplace and an attitude of the times, as long as it was not extreme or cruel. Even the beloved Jimmy Carter admitted to being an unconscious racist in his younger days, until he realized it.
