Army's 100 Years Of Honoring The Confederacy Ends

[Mr Natural]

About time the Army stops honoring a bunch of traitors.

 

[Stann]

There were even a few in Hollywood who knew that.

Hollywood shared the fantasy at times.

This Army Times article made my weekend! The article describes the renaming ceremony of Ft. Eisenhower from Ft. Gordon.

I was stationed there, then named Ft. Gordon, from 2001- 2004, including two deployments- one to Afghanistan and one Iraq. The whole time I was stationed there, I, a Yankee from Philadelphia, often bemoaned the fact that America had bases named after defeated traitors who lost a rebellion to secede from the Union to keep slavery. This was when I was introduced to the ridiculous “Lost Cause” fairytale.
Now I have one less thing to complain about. I’m proud to have now served at Ft. Eisenhower, an Army post named after an OG Antifa!

With Eisenhower renaming, Armyâs 100+ years honoring Confederates ends

The Friday ceremony marked the conclusion of the post-renaming process.

Next, the rest of the monuments, all the streets renamed, and true history taught.

And after another 30 or so years goes by. That's the end of any further support by any conservative causes, that will be of any consequence.

No you didn't. You weren't spending your time at Ft Gordon doing any such thing. I'm willing to bet you had zero idea who Ft Gordon was named after like the other 99% of people stationed there. And if you did the other people who were stationed there would have told you to STFU because they didn't care. Rename the bases that's fine I don't really care, but the idea that people who were stationed there sat around and worried about who the base was named after is ludicrous. I was stationed at 9 different bases during my career and the only one I knew anything about was LeJeune and that's only because Gen LeJeune is a legend in the Marine Corps otherwise I wouldn't have known him either. You get zero credit for telling fairy tales about how you were "woke" before "woke" was cool.

It was ignorant idiocy to name military installations after treasonous war criminals.

Removing the names of those who sought to defend slavery and destroy America from military installations is perfectly appropriate – in no manner ‘erasing’ history.

Why were they war criminals?

I didn’t say it was. I asked what they did that made them war criminals. RIF.

Who the fuck said they were war criminals , they may have been that also but it's besides the point they were traitors. No honor , no respect should be given to traitors.

He said they were treasonous war criminals. I couldn't go that far , although the soldiers of the North were more formal and obliged to the rules of war I'm sure there were atrocities on both sides. The bottom line is they were traitors , wether or not they were war criminals doesn't really matter. You're not picking

In other words he did call them war criminals which they weren’t but you’re too much of a dickhead to admit you are wrong. Thanks

I think you're lying about being in the military.

Exactly right. Either that or The.Forum.Fuckboy™ was a "don't ask, don't tell" potato peeler. Nobody wants a sniveling little bitch like that behind them with a rifle.

Like everything else there is a process to secede. In the United States the Constitution makes NO provision for secession, it's counterproductive to the entire format of being United States ( Unconstitutional ) therefore it is TREASON ergo the southerners were TRAITORS.

Now I have one less thing to complain about.

No fear

Being a Godless lib you’ll find something else to hate America for
