Some Good News.

[cccjwh]

With all the bad news about the coup and mass shootings, it good is celebrate some good news. The Pentagon commission a list of the recommendations for renaming the nine Army bases. 

https://www.armytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2022/05/24/panel-to-push-for-fort-bragg-to-be-renamed-fort-liberty/

The recommendation is for Fort Benning to be renamed to Fort Moore for Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and wife.

Benning summary:
Ardent Secessionist and traitor
Never served in US military
Got his ass handed to him at the Battle of Chickamauga
Then lost as part of the Battle of Wauhatchie outside of Chattanooga
Part of losing to Grant in the 1864 Overland Campaign, but they did kill a lot of US Army soldiers. Benning did get wounded. So sad.
Lucky to come back in time so he could surrender to the US Army in 1865 with Lee

"What was the reason that induced Georgia to take the step of secession? This reason may be summed up in one single proposition. It was a conviction, a deep conviction on the part of Georgia, that a separation from the North-was the only thing that could prevent the abolition of her slavery. " - Henry Benning

So Mr. Benning is being replace by Harold Gregory Moore Jr.

Yeah that guy from We Were Soldiers. Moore graduated from West Point on June 5, 1945. Moore was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry in early 1945. He served with the 187th Airborne Infantry Regiment in Japan from 1945 until 1948. In 1948 he was re-assigned to Fort Bragg. While with the 82nd Airborne Division, he volunteered to join the Airborne Test Section, a special unit testing experimental parachutes, and he made some 150 jumps with the section over the next two years. Over the course of his career, he became a master parachutist with over 300 jumps.

In 1952 Moore was assigned to the 17th Infantry Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division as a captain in the Korean War. While in Korea, he commanded both a rifle company and a heavy mortar company in combat. He next served as Regimental and then Divisional Assistant Chief-of-Staff, Operations and Plans. Stop in Allied Forces Northern Europe, National War College, Air Assault to go with his Airbourne. See "We Were Soldiers" for summary of Vietnam services. 

After the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley, Moore was promoted to colonel and took over the command of the Garry Owen Brigade. After service in Vietnam, Moore served as Assistant Chief-of-Staff, Operations and Plans of the Eighth Army in South Korea, and Commanding General of the 7th Infantry Division, before rotating back to the US. As Commanding General of the Army Training Center at Fort Ord, California in 1971-1973, he oversaw extensive experimentation in adapting basic and advanced individual training under Project VOLAR in preparation for the end of conscription and the institution of the Modern Volunteer Army. His final assignments took him to the East Coast, as Commanding General of the Military Personnel Records Center, and finally, Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Department of the Army.

Retired in 1977, died in 2017.

Quote

“There is no such thing as closure for soldiers who have survived a war. They have an obligation, a sacred duty, to remember those who fell in battle beside them all their days and to bear witness to the insanity that is war.” - Harold G. Moore, We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam

Moore unlike Benning was an actual US Army solider and should be celebrated for his service.

Fug you.

Of course it's ridiculous but we know that and you know that. The most ironic of the bush is Fort Liberty. Almost orwellian in the sense that you leftis oppose liberty whenever possible.

I’m trying to think of all the good that will come out of renaming stuff.

Nah…I can’t think of one thing.

Of course, you guys want to keep traitor's name on our Military base. Explain why someone who never served in the US Army should have a base name after them. I mean other than you want to show those uppity black people what's what.

Not to our own country. Well there are a lot of traitors to our country in the GOP.

Revolting because of taxation without representation vs revolting because you want to continue owning people is not the same. Alway fun watching you guys defend the indefensible. United State war hero vs a traitor to the United States. You guys take the traitor's side. Anything to own the libs. Tell me again how much you care about this country again. It will be a great laugh.

Our country was Great Britain. Washington and his friends were subjects of the king. Nobody but them cared about Taxation and only because they were the richest 1%. 99% oh colonists we're struggling 18 hours a day to scratch enough food out of the ground to survive. Think about it, the Confederacy officers were just defending their homes from the tyranny of the war criminal Lincoln. (the guy who named most of those forts in an attempt to heal the nation which you idiots have no interest in these days)

Sure, we know the history books are probably 90% bulshit in the first place not to mention that slavery was abolished in the mid 19th century. So STFU and step up like every other oppressed minority over the last centuries have done.

Plus the slogan taxation without representation is a joke.

Actually, NO. They lived in British colonies, but the oppression, viciousness, Right violations, ...

remember the "Shot Heard Around the World" ?

    The British oppressors were the traitors.

"

“[Our] fellow subjects in that part of the world are very far from having lost their affection and regard to their mother country or departed from the principles of commercial honour,” they wrote.

Though their optimism might seem misplaced today, at the time it wasn’t completely ridiculous. After all, this was the same year that Americans’ Second Continental Congress sent the crown the Olive Branch Petition, a last-ditch attempt to convince the King to back off so that the British subjects in the colonies could continue to live happily under his rule alongside their counterparts in England."

I don't think you are correct at all and even if you were I don't care. I really really don't care. People have a tendency to believe that history began 25 years ago but even if you think it began 200 years ago or three hundred years ago that's just as crazy. No place on Earth stays the same. If someone lived in ancient England under a Celtic King who was usurped buy a Viking king or a Briton King or Roman King any other kind of King things change. Over and over and over. The Confederate States had as much right to decide they wanted to be their own entity as the colonists decided they wanted to keep the tax money for George and his boys. Before that you had Spanish French and English fighting over the new world and before that Cherokee's versus Kickapoo to Apache and on and on. Nothing stays the same and nothing will be the same hundreds of years from now. So what are you consider yourself as subject or a citizen or a freedom fighter it's all the same s***.

And in each and every instance looking over a few centuries at the map of the world it's the Golden Rule, meaning that the guy who has the gold makes the rules.

Now the Liberals will have to decide whether they hate you or me worse.
