The ironic part is, most of the bases named for Confederate leadership were named for the least competent generals. Braxton Bragg did more to help the Union than he did the Confederacy.
Maybe they should look at corporate sponsorship like public sports venues do.
I can see it now.

How about - Ft Bragg = Ft Roger Donlon
Ft Hood = Ft Roy Benevidez
Ft Benning = Ft Audie Murphy
Surely there are more appropriate names.

How about we all send a email to the Army Secretary and tell him to leave it alone.
News media representatives with questions for the Department of Defense may reach the DOD Press Office by calling +1 (703) 697-5131 or by sending e-mail to OSD.PA.DutyOfficer@mail.mil.

Maybe not...after all, we cant keep a racist name like the "All Americans" 
From another thread:
Quote:
Amerigo Vespucci.
The United States of America is named after a slave trader.
He captured and transported slaves on his ships:
"From there Vespucci continued up the South American coast to the Gulf of Paria and along the shore of what is now Venezuela. At some point, they may have rejoined Ojeda but the evidence is unclear. In the late summer, they decided to head north for the Spanish colony at Hispaniola to resupply and repair their ships before heading home. After Hispaniola they made a brief slave raid in the Bahamas, capturing 232 natives and then returned to Spain."

I'm guessing it will be all of us non-woke, silence is violence, not white-shamed, unaffected by "white-guilt," people that are holding down a job full time and trying to raise a family. Just my guess.

It's convenient then that BLM is overtly dedicated to the dissolution of the nuclear family. Nothing like a well-defined MLR.

I had a long conversation with (unfortunately) one of my kids who's trying ultra-hard to show how in-tune he is with their plight. I basically said I'm not going to be made to feel guilty for having worked hard to provide for my family. Nor am I going to apologize for giving him a home, clothes, braces, food, etc. and making him learn the value of work.

Great conversation to have, kudos. Having way more time behind than ahead these days, I recall that one of the most important things I ever learned was after Mom's divorce & spending a couple summers (farmed out is a better term) as a young teen with a favorite uncle & aunt and learning some of the glass business. The lessons were many but the most important was learning how to, without resentment, get up each morning and go to work & do the best job I could, and appreciate that which had been done for me by others. Real life coming at you at the speed of real life.
The slight rudder corrections needed steered away from a precipice that I was teetering on. (Believe me, it was way better than having a platoon sergeant grab me up by the stacking swivel later, lol.)
Communists cannot abide a nuclear family because the values subvert what they want to substitute which is, ultimately, allegiance to the state.

If Mrs. Buttersworth’s is to be removed from the shelves too, I will truly be lost. This de-segregation thing was supposed to be fixed with the Civil Rights Act passed and forced into compliance way back when I was child.
The progress we have made, oops, had made before the last administration unraveled it all.
The next thing ya know Krusteaz will become synonymous with a bad clown from the Simpson’s and there will be no reasons to ever go camping again.

Main Street
Can we change all those MLK avenues back to main street? If we're going to be neutral, we need to cover all the territory.
