He's filling for Rush today and he said the military is renaming Fort Bragg and Fort Hood....I guess any symbols or remembrance of the CSA has to be vanquished. Is the Dim party next? It has to be ....right?

The Sec of Defense said a few days ago he'd consider it. Nothing has been announced yet.

Wouldn't that logically mean the Dim party is next? What's t the most glaring reminder of racism that's left? Has to be the Dim party.

I thought it was the Sec of the Army who said that? Unless Esper has since gone along with considering the idea

I doubt your average black person has either.


Most people that have not or do not study history have no clue, unless they happened to be stationed there... I imagine you can go through the list and find issues with every single base name if you really wanted to be critical, which is why I threw Kit Carson in there...

The Army showing their inferiority complex by virtue signaling.

David Petraeus calling anyone a traitor is comical, considering that he was convicted of passing classified materials to his mistress.

They have been showing that for years... started with the social experimentation and moved from there... sensitivity training has been around for a long time... also, they have to teach classes to tell soldiers that "rape is bad" and "yes can mean no"...

And it's selective. As mentioned, the democratic party's entire history is full of politicians and white men who established and defended the right to own black people as property.

Won't hear a peep about that though.

This is stupid.

If you are inclined to want to do this, do it sometime when it doesn't look like you are a pussy and reacting to extortion.

(CNN) - There is a chance Army installations named after Confederate military commanders could undergo a name change.

Army officials say U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper are open to holding a “bipartisan conversation” about renaming nearly a dozen major bases and installations that bear the names of those associated with the Confederacy.

This means Army installations including Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas and Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia could be renamed.

In a statement released Monday, the U.S. Army said that “each Army installation is named for a soldier who holds a significant place in our military history.” The statement went on to say the names represent individuals and not ideologies.

This comes days after the U.S. Marine Corps announced the removal of all public displays of the Confederate flag from its installations.
So what are they renaming the bases? Sissy McMompants unicorn base? George Floyd base? Barack Obama Base? Nancy Pelosi base?

If they MUST--- re name name them after WWII Vets. Then in 200 years the pussies will be offended by them because they were violent.

Fort George Floyd and all entering the main gate must get out and geneflect to his statue and say they are sorry. Alongside a feet washing station where you must wash black, brown, purple, peoples feet.
