In offering her amendment, Strickland said it was necessary because the Trump administration ignored Congress by changing the new names, choosing to honor, instead, different service members with the same last names as the Confederate officers for which the bases originally were named.

Strickland said while the current names honor military personnel in their own right — for example, Fort Lee in Virginia is now named for Fitz Lee, a Buffalo soldier who earned the Medal of Honor — the administration’s changes sidestepped the law and were hurtful to many military personnel and veterans for reviving Confederate legacies.

“They used the same stunt the commission considered and rejected, finding new service members that share the same last name as the Confederate traitors,” Strickland said.

“To judge historical figures by the morality of our time is taking certain things out of context … I just heard we can’t honor our forefathers who enslaved other people. Are we going to rename this city? Where does it end?” asked Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, ignoring that Confederates were judged as losers by their contemporaries at the time.

>Confederates
They lost way before all this nothingburger BS about changing names & removing statues.
The Commemorative Air Force changed their name from 'Confederate' years before all of what these southern inbreds are seething about.

drug addicts don't think they're being harmed by drugs, pedophiles don't believe anyone is hurt when they fuck children

likewise, having to revere losers as heroes has psychologically crippled the south and the republicunt party to the point where they're so brain damaged they need to be put down

I know you're a schizo bot that's not worth the time, but I'm going to reply to you anyways to use this as an opportunity to lay down some ground rules ITT.

If you have not served in the military in any capacity then you don't get to say a FUCKING word, especially making such bullshit claims like the names "were hurtful to many military personnel and veterans." Not even POGs gave a fuck whether Ft. Bragg was called Ft. Bragg, or Hood or whatever the fuck. What next? Are we going to rename the Apache helicopter like the Washington Redskins because too many white women and faggots got offended for the natives?

youre mad that the statement was of the opinions of military personnel and veterans, then you're mad that people who didnt serve cant say anything. but the statement says the people offended did serve.

youre clearly a loser jarhead and your 4 years of service is your entire identity. i bet you got the hat and shirts and bumper stickers so everyone has to know that.

They should name some bases for other people who lost wars against the US. Fort Hitler, Airstrip Mussolini…

I didn't read the article. I don't really give one shit.
However, the Confederate names were used to signal a reunification of the US during Reconstruction.
Being a butthurt fag over Confederate names (probably Democruds) is showing a lack of understanding of US history.
If we really cared, Democrats should denounce their racist party name.

We'll finish gentrifying the south soon
There'll be a place for you because there will be a place for everyone
