brestugo 10/29/23 11:46:42 AM #1:	https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4281059-pentagon-completes-military-base-renaming-project-confederates/ *The Pentagon on Friday in a ceremony renamed the U.S. Army base in August, Ga., to honor the service of former President Eisenhower.* Fort Eisenhower, formerly known as Fort Gordon, was *the last of nine military posts to receive new names as part of the Biden administrations initiative to remove names honoring Confederate soldiers.* Were proud to recognize the courage and legacy of distinguished #USArmy Soldiers like Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the U.S. Army posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. *The Pentagon ordered the removal of the names and items associated with Confederates at the beginning of this year.* Congress appointed a Naming Commission to help rebrand the bases. According to estimates from the commission, the renaming process will cost more than $21 million. The Commission put forward new titles for Fort Bragg in North Carolina; Fort Benning in Georgia; Fort Lee in Virginia; Fort Pickett in Virginia; Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia; Fort Hood in Texas; Fort Polk in Louisiana; Fort Rucker in Alabama, and now Fort Gordon in Georgia. Fort Bragg was renamed to Fort Liberty because liberty remains the greatest American value. Fort Benning is now officially Fort Moore, named after a married couples dedicated leadership during and after battle. The three bases in Virginia were renamed to Fort Gregg-Adams (Lee), Fort Barfoot (Pickett) and Fort Walker (A.P. Hill). Gregg-Adams now honors two Black Army pioneers, Barfoot is in honor of a World War II Medal of Honor recipient and Walker honors the countrys only female Medal of Honor recipient and first female surgeon in the Civil War. The bases in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama were renamed Fort Cavazos (Hood), Fort Johnson (Polk) and Fort Novosel (Rucker). Cavazos honors the countys first Hispanic four-star general that served in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. Johnson is in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. William Henry Johnson, who served in Word War I, and Novosel was named after a Medal of Honor recipient who rescued thousands of wounded soldiers. Fort Gordon, which was originally named after Confederate Lt. Gen. John Brown Gordon, commemorates Eisenhower for his extensive, innovative and effective military experience and leadership, ABC News reported. Susan Eisenhower, the former presidents granddaughter, spoke at the ceremony and spoke of her grandfathers love of the U.S. and the Augusta, Georgia community. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:976920336] in Last Confe...

Even if you believe that some confederates were fighting for reasons other than racism, it's still odd to name army bases after your enemies. The only Confederate who deserves any recognition is General James Longstreet. He was arguably the best general the south had and only fought for them out of loyalty to his home state of Georgia. After the war he worked in favor of civil rights and worked with Grant in the reconstruction movement. He even lead a militia of black soldiers in battle against the KKK and other white supremacist groups in the south. He worked so hard against "southern interests" that most southerners consider him a traitor to the cause. --- Detroit Lions 5-2 https://i.imgur.com/EhXehEc.jpg <cite>Awesker002 posted [p:976926419] in Last Confe...

HannibalBarca3 10/29/23 11:34:35 PM #45:	FortuneCookie posted... Even if you believe that some confederates were fighting for reasons other than racism, it's still odd to name army bases after your enemies. It seems hard to believe given that many of the Confederate states constitutions mention slavery as the key reasons for succession and even non-slave owners were fighting to preserve the racial hierarchy put in place. That's not even mentioning all the trouble caused by Confederate veterans during reconstruction which include the only successful coup in American history at Wilmington, North Carolina led by a former Confederate soldier: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ks082p/comment/gidrxdt/ --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.

Both are alive and well in the modern day Republican Party. --- "The US is not a single country.
