~~~~~~“The Commission's thorough and historically informed work has put the Department on a path to meet Congressional intent – and to remove from U.S. military facilities all names, symbols, displays, monuments, and paraphernalia that honor or commemorate the Confederacy. The Commission has chosen names that echo with honor, patriotism, and history - names that will inspire generations of Service members to defend our democracy and our Constitution.”
Very good.
When will Democrat senator and KKK leader Robert Byrd‘s statue be taken down?

That will certainly increase the number of enlistments and create unity in our country. (sarcasm implied)
WHAT AN IDIOTIC MOVE... They were all AMERICANS who served. This is an attempt to rewrite history.

It was the 1920s – the height of Jim Crow, black codes, and segregation.Cool. Why Braxton Bragg ever had a military base named after him has never made sense, one can surmise there was a dearth of Confederate talent from the state of North Carolina during the Civil War, so they had to settle on a terrible general who was ultimately relieved of command.
No question, this was the middle finger from the south towards equality, not that there was much of a movement for that 100 years ago.It was the 1920s – the height of Jim Crow, black codes, and segregation.
As was the case with statues and monuments named for treasonous war criminals from the South, so too were military installations – to reaffirm and establish the institution of racism.
