Honestly I hate that we erased history because we had 7 bases named after Confederate Generals. Erasing a name does not erase history, we learn from history. They were still Americans.

Renaming was supposed to cure all ills in the military. Nothing but smiles and rainbows now.

The truth, the Democrats what to erase their history since it make them look really bad since it was their party who was against abolishing slavery.

I am okay with the name change, but it is still Fort Benning to me.
