#3 I can see renaming the bases, most got their name by accident of history anyway.

If they have to do it, rename Fort Bragg, named for a mediocre Confed general, to Fort Lee - the Father of the Airborne. Fort Rucker to Fort Billy Mitchell, Army Aviation's father. And Fort Hood, Home of America's Hammer? Fort George S Patton of course. And we have to have a Fort Schwarzkopf someplace. And a Fort von Steuben.

And who could say no to Fort Lewis "Chesty" Puller?

#4 Fort Benning goes to Fort Schwarzkopf, he served Airborne, was a Master Parachutist, also taught leadership. Fort Lee to Fort Von Steuben giove that its Doctrine Development etc that's done there. Fort Gordon to Fort Matthew Ridgeway. Fort Polk to Fort Pershing.

Lots of good alternatives.

Now lets see what we can do to get Robert KKK Byrd's name off of half the buildings in West Virginia.

#5 That post-Civil War military installation naming convention, designed to unify a war-torn nation as a prelude to WWI appears to have run it's course.

Division and anarchy are now the more contemporary goals.

#6 Don't forget the judicial branch. The US Supreme Court building honors the author of this law:
15.If a man aid a male or female slave of the palace, or a male or female slave of a freeman to escape from the city gate, he shall be put to death.

#7 Pelosi has become a repressive symbol of a tyrranical, seditious House of Represenatives. Shouldn't this symbol be removed?

There are many other symbols of the left. Shouldn't these also be removed because they are offensive? Just saying, this entire cancel movement (history deniers) is stupid as well as ignorant.

#8 What also makes me sick about that psycho harridan is that pathetically phony smile. She's a disgusting piece of rubbish, mentally & physically.

#10 Pelosi's father, Thomas D’Alesandro, Jr., oversaw the dedication of such a statue in Baltimore’s Wyman Park — the Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee Monument — as mayor of the city in 1948.
Whats that saying, if you live in a glass house don't throw stones
selective memory at it's finest
