there are no bases named to honor the Confederacy they were named after great American leaders. And it seems that the US government forgave that transgresses in the 50s and that was just forgotten and overlooked by that idiot in charge

It's the " look over there !! " ploy.
Notice not only what the spotlight shows, but those directing where the Spotlight shines.

MSG Greg Kelly - I believe so, It's just who is telling the story to their agenda, to sway others to their thinking.
Best to just take the next steps in life, and not drag our feet in the dirt. Lol

Well, life goes on, no matter what the old, or new name was, or is.
What matters, the men and women assigned to the base, with a proud sense, of serving at their location, and unit.
I served at Fort Bragg, and to me, and most, it didn't mean we supported the confederacy. We served there knowing, it was the home of the Airborne.
Look at my pictures, just who served there, me in the middle, an island boy from Guam, an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, to my right, Yee, a national born Chinese, then adopted and raised in Boston, and Perez, from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Where in the hell, did us three, support the Confederacy, due to we served at Fort Bragg. Hahahahahaha!
Oh, yeah, in the next picture, Lampsen was a Filipino, and with Steve Sikes, mother is Japanese. Lol

CPT (Join to see) - I had a chance to go to New Orleans in 2011.
I work for the Department of Education on Guam, and in 2011, I was told I was to attend a conference there, to attend the Assistive Technology part, for the school kids.
Lucky for me, one of my sons was stationed there in the Coast Guard, my other son in the CG drove there, from Texas to spend some time with me, as well as my daughter.
We had a great time in the French Quarter, and walking in the streets at night, loved it.
In the picture my oldest son, now out of the CG, and living in LA Calf, and my younger son is still in the CG and stationed here on Guam on a ship. He will be retiring in one or two years. His daughter on his shoulders, is now 16, taught her how to shoot, and she loves it.

CPT (Join to see) - This is a good army friend I met at Jump school in 1972 at Fort Benning. He's Filipino, and now lives on Guam, we are still good friends and see each other, he has his own engineering firm on island.
In 1972, I was being stationed on the DMZ Korea, and he asked me to stop by on Guam,
and drop off, gifts from him, for his two kids, living on island with their mother at the time.
I asked him about his two kids one day, he said, they both grew up, and are living in the US now a days.
Today, we now have known each other for 51 years, wow, how time flew by.

SGT (Join to see) - Excellent photo! And the 2023 USCG "go cup." Great tradition the USCG has with the Krewe of Zulu and Rex. When there we always take the Algiers ferry across and back the Mississippi for the great views. The quarter for sure, the Cathédrale-Basilique de Saint-Louis, Roi-de-France,and of course all the great places to eat. Inside the cathedral *all* the flags that have flown over NOLA are shown.

I never felt like an enemy was being honored, but rather being respected as a worthy adversary.
