I never worried about the names of Confederate heroes for our bases. Served at Fort Hood and Fort Bragg.

But times change, don't they? The CSA was a traitor nation, yes. There you go.

A House committee attempted to ban Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from using official funds to change military base names to evoke their original, Confederate-inspired titles in a rebuke of his war on diversity and inclusion policies in the military.

The House Armed Services Committee passed an amendment to its annual defense policy bill barring the Pentagon from using any of the funds from next year's defense budget to rename Defense Department installations in honor of Confederate figures.

I always thought naming the one Ft. Bragg was an insult to the South given how everyone but Jeff Davis could not stand him. The most failed CW Confederate general.

Truth be told Hood was not much of a much either after he got all shot up.....He was high a lot of the time on opium pain killers.

Strangely, it was during the first World War and the Wilson era that Democrat majorities in Congress named these military bases...
Camp Bragg was established in 1918 as an artillery training ground.
Fort Hood was created in 1942.
Both military facilities originally named by Democrat majorities presided over Democrat presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

I can't see it happening as the confederacy main goal was to break away from the union
They also fired the first shot by attacking first.

So they committed treason and now they are hero's to some

Well good luck with that. It is ancient history so move on.

If they want to be rebels without a cause then okay
