Good questions, SGT! Apparently, the PC police are on patrol. Everyone forgets or never knew that after the surrender of the Civil War, Gen. Grant told his troops to "refrain from celebrations in the field," and that "the Rebels are our countrymen again." A profound statement, ever hidden from view by those who wish to persecute the war all over again: The Rebels are our countrymen again. By right, all of the "Confederate" generals are Americans. The fact that several Army bases were named after them is testament to their character, bravery and leadership. It would be interesting to find out exactly what the naming process was like in the first place, wouldn't it? How or why did US Army leaders name these bases for Confederate Generals?
