The president has told lawmakers he won't back down from a campaign threat to scuttle defense spending bill over proposed changes.

"President Donald Trump is threatening to veto legislation to fund the military as one of his final acts in office unless a widely supported, bipartisan provision to rename military bases honoring Confederate military leaders is removed -- Since the Nov. 3 election, Trump has privately told Republican lawmakers that he won't back down from his position during the campaign that he would veto the annual National Defense Authorization Act if it includes an amendment to rename the bases. The effort to change the names of military bases honoring Confederate military leaders has been a target for Trump for months. While some Republicans are now shifting their positions to align with Trump, Democrats are refusing to budge on the agreed-to amendment, threatening passage of the legislation."
I believe Trump should totally take a stand for our rich and vast Confederate legacy, even if it means defunding the military -- our soldiers have fought to protect the Confederacy and the Democrats are trying to attack and disgrace our honorable Confderate generals -- I mean, the Democrats are trying to hide their racist past, yea, that's it!!
I agree. The generation that actually fought the war to end the Confederacy, healed the wounds of that war, by re-assimilating the South back into the Union.
Doing that made the Confederacy part of American History.
Undoing that, is an attempt by anti-American assholes to reopen old wounds and tear this nation apart.
This is what the retards on the left don’t understand. Those Confederate Generals were all US Generals before the Civil War, and after the war the entire Confederacy was pardoned.
Take Robert E. Lee, he believed slavery was evil and did believe the slaves should be freed someday, but not by politics and war. He did argue that Africans were better off as slaves in America than they were in Africa, which still holds true today with these crybaby blacks that whine about racism in America yet choose to stay here instead of returning to Africa. After the war he was instrumental in keeping the peace and getting southerners to accept the defeat. His home was seized and turned into Arlington National Cemetery, is that place a symbol of the Confederacy or of America?
