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

Thayer Hotel at USMA. They were traitors. As was just said to me: would we put up statues for those who switched to fight for ISIS?

Cannot agree more! There is no “redo” or “replay” button for history. It is what it is and it ain’t changin’ no matter how hard we try.

Well I guess we found the guy who probably participated in Jan 6th Domestic Terrorist attack or at least a sympathizer to traitors. This doesn't have to do with left or right considering that the Left has moved so far right that the current Neoliberal/Zionist sympathizers leadership makes Reagan fanboys look like Republican Liberals when Eisenhower was in office.

The simple fact is we DO NOT HONOR TRAITORS to America be it Confederate Officers or former Presidents and members of Congress either.

We should rename the bases after Medal of Honor Winners and respected leaders before the Error of Reagan and onwards. The fact that they've named those heroes as VA medical sites rather than actual bases is asinine.

The idiotic claim of people saying their destroying or denying history like SFC Middaugh below is laughable since he's citing George Orwell who hated Fascist including a lot of Conservatives of the American Government that believed in sexism, racism and general bigotry overall towards anyone who was a Non-White Christian Male and his work showed it. Then again Middaugh simply is parroting from his watching Alt-Right News rather than actually reading 1984 and other literature then again I doubt he's picked up more than 50 books in his life unless they were written by military or forced leadership tasking outside the Bible. The fact that we let Confederate Neo-Nazi Trash still allowed into the military with seeing them as traitors who deserve to be treated as such like the Rosenbergs in 1953. If it wasn't for Bush Sr passing an illegal executive order in 1981 when Reagan was shot by Bush Sr BFF kid then they'd been treated like the Rosenbergs too.

Since the Error of Reagan and Roger Freeman's plan to dumb down America since a "Well, Educated Proletariat" is the antithesis of a Fascist or Nationalist Government. Freeman like Bush Sr and Ronnie Ray-Gun wanted people dumb enough to pull the lever at the voting booth or trigger of a gun without bothering to understand the deeper value of Government that existed under the Boomer Error which was squandered by their greed, hypocrisy and selfish self-center shallow assholery that allowed our Government to be take over by the worst criminals and con artists that should have never been allowed into Government in the first place.

Ironically, the fact that Scandinavian Nation-States are well educated Democratic Socialist Countries that have everything America should have had if we didn't kowtow to both the Military Industrial Complex and Foreign Government Influence of Israeli, Russia and Saudis.

Fort Hood will always be Hood for those of us that grew up in the near shadows, but that doesn't make anything right! Why it was named for a failure does matter. See some of us in Tx learned Spanish and know the new name by reputation.
Oh and this isn't a political left thing. It's about righting a wrong, end of story!

SSgt Carroll Straus - Its not glorification. Its amendments to move on and get the country rebuilt and back together as soon as possible. North did not get the big victory it talks of. South was more than happy/able/willing to engage in guerilla warfare. War needed to end NOW by whatever means.

Then -

Remember that Lincoln is the first Republican. He was the third party candidate. Now he's dead and there's a lot of politicians wanting to go back to the way it was before the election. Trust me - they are worried about more important things than a statue. Executions for treason would likewise, be an idea that got quashed. What was done was not the best but sadly, it was done with the best tools available at the time. Always difficult to look at 1860's events with 2023 eyes.

Horse feathers

I always call it the mess hall. In Virginia folks are not allowed to place confederate flags for more that a year. so they replace the flag every year.

If the names MUST change, I could get behind your suggestion, sir!

LTC Broom Agree with naming after medal of honor recipients only. But I took Basic at Fort Jackson, and AIT at Fort Polk (Tiger Land). sorry but just did not like Fort Polk. But if names must be changed to appease a socialist communist system I say no. Naming a Fort after a Medal honor recipient not only honors the recipient but the Army as well.

At Ft Polk there's a rumor that the mosquito will be the State bird.

what happens when one of the medal of honor recipients name matches a Confederat officers name ?
