Biden's US Army Has Messed Up Priorities - Will Spend $63M To Rename Confederate Bases

[Jim H - VA USA]

It will piss off Confederate loving Republicans

It ticks me off because it is a waste of money that has very little real effect to fix the problems plaguing Black Americans like crime, breakdown of the traditional family, lower scores on just about everything that matters.

It is pure pandering, and sign of true weakness by leadership which fails to address real issues and takes the easy route of spending a little money and changing a bunch of names on a map. As if it will change history or have any meaningful effect.

It's disgusting.

It is the right thing to do and should have been done decades ago

Why honor those who fought against our country?

Russia has 2,000 limited shorter range nukes.
U.S. has 200.

Pass the Cheerio's, please.

 

[rightwinger]

Are we? Russia has fielded hypersonic missiles in theater, we are still in testing. Where else have we fallen behind? We can't even meet recruitment quotas. After that Afghanistan withdrawal disaster how much faith does anyone have in this administration?

You said Russia…

Why spend $63+ million to virtue-signal??

Because there are better things to spend $63M on? Look around.

All the emojis in the world doesn't change the fact they are fielding technology we don't have right now.

Re-naming is sure to keep blacks on the Dimm plantation.

How many blacks that are even interested in the military give a shit about what the names of their duty station are?

Well, Lloyd 'Roscoe' Austin thought so!

 

[BrokeLoser]

Long overdue

Why honor traitors to our country?

Remember the Mexican American War… We shouldn’t allow anything named after Mexico or a Mexican either…right?

 

[Pete7469]

Well, Lloyd 'Roscoe' Austin thought so!

I reject the idea that idiot "thought" anything, ever, in his entire life.

Remember the Mexican American War… We shouldn’t allow anything named after Mexico or a Mexican either…right?

How about the Korean and Vietnam wars? We shouldn't allow communists to remain in the country.

That means Bye Bye Democrats....

Then again the Confederate states were dominated by democrats also...

Yet another reason to be rid of them.

This isn’t prompted by blacks, this is all the work of woke white guilt wackos… By the way, why didn’t Obama ever order the name change of bases… Was he a racist or something?

 

[Flash]

This type of woke bullshit is why the military is having significant problems meeting recruiting goals.

They should put those millions of dollars plus the billions they spend on stupid diversity training on war preparedness.

 

[B. Kidd]

On that long road to 'cancel culture woke wonderland', this be one more stop along the way.

He was more consumed with his fellow faggots and their ability to get (LOL...) "married".

Goat herders in Afghanistan DID kick our ass!!

 

[bripat9643]

Rename? That is a waste. They should close them.

Are you saying we don't need a military?

 

[Cellblock2429]

So, we are possibly on the verge of WWIII, with Biden (apparently prematurely) announcing that nuclear Armageddon is the highest risk since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

But there is an election coming, so getting Dem votes has super high priority.

Somehow, spending lots of money to change the historical names of places is going to "inspire" our troops and improve our military.

Bases to be renamed include:

• Fort Benning, Georgia - established in 1909, the fort was named for Confederate Brigadier General Henry Lewis Benning, who was born on a plantation owned by his parents and took an active role in pushing for the secession of Georgia from the union
• Fort Gordon, Georgia - established in 1941, the fort was named for Confederate Major General John Brown Gordon, who, after the fall of the Confederacy, became a US Senator and Governor of Georgia
• Fort Bragg, North Carolina - established in 1918, the fort is named for Confederate General Braxton Bragg, whose many losses are cited as highly consequential to the ultimate defeat of the Confederacy
• Fort Hood, Texas - established in 1942, the fort was named for Confederate General John Bell Hood. It was originally built to test and train soldiers to use World War II tank destroyers
• Fort Rucker, Alabama - established in 1942, the fort is named for Confederate General Edmund Rucker. The fort is primarily used for flight training for US Army Aviators
• Fort Polk, Louisiana - established in 1941, the fort was named for Confederate General Leonidas Polk, who was also the first Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana and subsequently the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America
• Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia - established in 1941, the fort was named for Confederate General Ambrose Powell Hill, a native Virginian who fought in the Mexican-American war and the Seminole Wars before he joined the confederacy
• Fort Pickett, Virginia - established in 1941, fort was named for Confederate General George Pickett, who is best know for leading the futile battle offensive on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg
• Fort Lee, Virginia - established as Camp Lee in 1917, the fort was named for famed Confederate General Robert E. Lee and is located on the historic grounds where Captain John Smith established some of the first plantations along the James River in the 17th century

US Army WILL rename nine forts that honor Confederate generals at a cost of $63M: Lloyd Austin defends move saying installations are 'powerful public symbols of our military'​

• Following years of debate, the US Defense Department will rename nine US military bases named after Confederate generals
• The renaming process will also include 1,000 other Army installations named for Confederate Army generals and affiliates around the country
• Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the names of the forts and installations should 'inspire all those who call them home, fully reflect the history and the values of the United State

US Army WILL rename nine forts named after Confederate generals

After half-a-decade of debate, the US Department of Defense ha announced it will rename the nine US military bases that bear named of officers of the Confederacy.
