Or...Its a waste of time and money to change the names again. Especially when they're having to use random soldiers' names to represent the traitors.

They weren’t Americans

I mean Benedict Arnold certainly was. And to be fair, at one point, neither were all these Confederate Generals. At least they weren't Americans when they did the deeds that southerners decided to idolize 100 years after the events.

The "Fort Moore" signs on I-185 near Columbus, GA were simply stickers stuck over the words "Fort Benning." Extremely easy to revert back to the correct name at minimal cost.

Some scumbag leftist will sue and some POS corrupt federal district judge will rule in their favor until a higher court overturns.

They fought for the U.S. in other conflicts , they were Americans. And on another note if the confederacy was treasonous then so were the colonials, where’s the distinction? And don’t use slavery, no one in the north gave damn about slavery. And don’t use Lincoln because the Emancipation Proclamation only ended slavery in the south while it continued in the north.

The Left has spent years renaming things, tearing down statues, and rewriting our history — now they’re suddenly outraged at the idea of just restoring the original names.
A bunch of revisionist history cosplayers spent centuries honoring POS men and traitors. I’d take the inverse personally. It’s never too late to do the right thing.
Honoring an enemy nation and its leaders that triggered the most blood shed on America soil is psychotic and suggests nefarious at worst motives. Those that love this are cucks that probably like to watch their wives get *****d by a man they have p**** envy for. Show a loser and I’ll show you the sons and daughters of the confederacy.

At least I don’t worship secessionist and insurrectionists.
You know it never ever ages well. This time, the good forces of the universe won’t forget and won’t let yall off the hook like they did in the 1860s, 1960s, and just a few months ago.

My problem is not with Confederates getting named on these bases. Lee was a very competent general as was Longstreet.... Stonewall Jackson even JEB Stuart.
But to get upset over tarnishing the legacy of guys like Braxton Bragg and John Brown Gordon or even Henry Benning is laughable. Benning got most of his brigade wiped out a Chicamauga and whimpered back to Longstreet.
Got no problem with John Bell Hood. He was aggressive, if not a bit too much.
But to celebrate the losers of the losing side.....now that is something special.

a bit hyperbolic even for a histrionic sanctimonious nit wit like yourself, SS.
How and where have I ever worshipped any of these folks? I'm simply pointing out there are flaws to this blanket judgment of the "evil old white man" argument to justify erasing them from history. I'm sorry that is so clearly upsets you the way it does.
Also, take a moment to look up the definition of “insurrectionist.” Now tell me—how is that fundamentally any different from what many illegal immigrants from South America are doing when they cross our border en masse, defy our laws, and demand rights and benefits? You won't, because it doesn't fit the narrative that's been given to you to repeat.
after all, you are a :GoodBoy:

There's imperfection in every general, and disagreements amongst historians on every one worth writing about.

Wouldn't have a problem renaming Benning after Gavin....at all.
Look, we want to accuse loony leftists of rewriting history, but the effort of the Daughters of the Confederacy and others like them 100+ years ago did very much the same thing. Rehabbing memories and polishing up terds from the Civil War era.
I've had a problem with Braxton Bragg for example for 30+ years. Fukker was a cancer on the battlefield. Henry Benning was not really much better....and they get to be honored in perpetuity with bases that train our soldiers? Bragg deserved scorn.....Benning deserved irrelevance as did John Brown Gordon from a military standpoint.

He never served on a nuke. He was one of the earliest officers in Hyman Rickover’s training pipeline, but he resigned his commission midway through the course when his father turned ill.

Yeah, oh there was this WWIi soldier who did a brave thing so we will honor him, not the Confederate general who we used to honor....his name just happens to be Bragg too.....and he was stationed at what was called Ft Bragg.....too.

I was responding to the comment that bases should only be named after competent generals. Jimmy Carter was anything but competent, and it's the only time a sub has been named for a person.
