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

Somebody in the DOD didn't hear you and millions of other
veterans that said "NO"

My biggest concern (my anger) is that changing Ft Benning to Ft Moore is one thing but it will ALWAYS be known as “The Home of the Infantry.” Then to throw gas on the fire they put some Tanker crap on the new Main gate.
Sorry guys but I was Light Infantry in Berlin and then transitioned to the Bradley which is NOT a tank! I still have a lot of respect for Tankers because the Infantry needs them but Infantry is Infantry!

Exactly, SPOILED BRATTS! Get a LIFE!

Exactly, HISTORY cannot be erased by changing names! IT happened, GET OVER IT!

Politicians and all you liberal civilians need to get busy making America GREAT! Renaming or tearing down our history is nothing but something you all invented because either you can't perform meaningful work or you are just too damn LAZY!

CPT Chris McGowan - First I never said. "Blacks fought for the south BULLSHIT". We are talking about naming Forts. If I'm not mistaken many Confederate Generals also went to West Point. My point was that this Country has many more problems than worrying about renaming Military Bases. As for the " White Supremacist " bullshit. You know nothing about me. I grew up in Boston at a time when inner city blacks were forced onto buses to suburb schools for Democratic Politian's beliefs. When these kids had to stay after school. There were no buses to take them home. They were left to fend for themselves. My father was one of the first to take action for these students by taking them into our home to spend the night share our dinner etc. One of these fine young men is now an outstanding DR in his community.

ur not worth the effort of me wasting time with idiots like you. When libs haven't a clue they always fall back on the you must be a racist card. Your clueless and obviously uneducated.

PVT Mark Whitcomb - if you check with south Carolina many run away Black slaves in the 1800 fought with the British against the American people. The fighting for is just an Obama version he started to make Islam look good. Until the 1950s Islam wasn't allowed in America.

That is your opinion and you are welcome to it. Slavery was not the only issue that caused the war. The majority of the men who fought for the south were not slave owners. You are right that the Officers and Soldiers who left active military of the US to fight for the south were traitors. No one in my family ever owned slaves and I completely disagree with anyone ever being put into enslavement. I do not agree with discrimination in any form, you treat all people as you wish to be treated. But my point was to teach history as it is so hopefully something like the Civil War will ever happen again!!!!!!!

Renaming the bases isn't 'erasing history'. It is removing slavery defending traitors from a place of honor and honoring American heroes in their place.

I have not seen anything proposed that the CSA officers will never be mentioned again. I hope that every base that gets renamed makes an exhibit dedicated to explaining the entire history from the point that the person was born, their role in the CSA, why the base was named after them to begin with and the process that we're in right now.

If anything having bases named after traitors makes future mistakes MORE likely to happen. It might send the message that if you are a traitor you'll get a base named after you.

CW3 Matt Tait People keep calling them traitors. When we're they convicted to properly name them as traitors? Only about 6 southerners were ever tried and they have all received presidential pardons. I believe President Carter pardoned the last one. And again not all southerners owned slave or fought on that issue alone. Only the rich plantation owners and their politicians and family fought for slavery as a primary reason.

What qan idiotic statement- it's you guys who don't want history to be revealed and taught- you suckers are trying to make laws against it, to punish peole who teach or even talk about it. Look, why are you so hot and heavy about keeping the names of CONFEDERATE Traitors on our military bases, but SO AGAINST talking about Jim Crow, Slavery, Race Riots against China Towns, concentration camps for Japanese Americans, discrimination against Jew and other minorities in housing, education, financing, job opportunities, genocide against Native Americans. Seems like you only want to talk about one kind of history, why is that Jimmy?

I think I would rather see the democrat leaders go to the country of their choice and leave America alone. The changing of our history is so the American people will forget the violence of the democrat party thru history. I want it to remain so Americans won't forget and so they don't make the same mistake again. That is why history is very important to be taught. I also shows how great Americans pride ant the great people has been throughout history. Just look at our old movie stars.
