Always seemed strange to me that these installations were named for Confederate generals long after the Civil War.

Agree. Very strange.

But here we are several decades later and spending 62.5 million for something that most people didn’t even notice or care.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Excellent. Benefits far outweigh a "cost"

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Good.

Guy whose posting history is 90% plus resentment/grievance over every little thing, and military installations named after traitors isn't something he notices or cares about....

And it's the price tag that's the deal breaker for you on this subject you don't care about?

It's just such a comprehensively full-of-shit political movement, full of comprehensively full-of-shit people.

I knew you were jealous of me living in the heart of the former Confederacy. 😁

What country on the planet memorializes traitors? F#ck ‘em all. I like the guys who don’t lose the Civil War.

This is long overdue.

Who wants to bet Northern has a Confederate flag decal in the back window of his pickup?

I feel like this is a thread that ran some time back. This is old news.

Our founding fathers were all "traitors".

It was being discussed then

Easy to say when your spending other people's money. But that's the liberal way.

It's correcting an error. But then purple like you don't want to correct errors, you want the status quo.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Our founding fathers were all "traitors".

Did they go along with secession and fight against the United States of America?

This isn’t difficult.

 

[Whatsgoingonwitgyouguys0190]

Next up we will rename the United States of America.

I’m for Bobtopia

F*** your feelings.
Did I do that right?

 

[luvmyhawks]

This is good. Seems pretty expensive.

Sorry about your heroes losing an honor. You can still visit the Jefferson Davis statue at the capitol for now.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

You do agree that the Confederate leaders were traitors, right?

And have you finally come around to believing the fake offer of job benefits to the people shipped to Martha’s Vineyard by Perla, a former Army counterintelligence agent, and the DeSantis campaign was a hoax and cruel stunt?

They’ve got to change the napkins and the business cards and everything in all of the computer systems. Got to get new signs, communicate with google and the local towns. Plus I’m sure palms will be greased, grifters everywhere in this world

Even if you forget that Bragg fought for the confederacy…..he was one of the crappier confederate generals.

His biggest victory was Chickamauga but his army of Tennessee was beefed up by Longstreets corps that was on loan from the Lee’s Northern Virginia Army. Longstreet was arguably the confederates best corps commander leading the confederates most powerful corps.

Anyway, Bragg beat the Army of the Cumberland at Chickamauga but wasted a lot time and failed to follow it up when he could have annihilated the union army. Some historians think that failure was maybe the confederates last real chance at “winning” the civil war. Or least bringing the union to the table.

Longstreet takes his corps back to Virginia and Bragg immediately gets his ass seriously kicked at Chattanooga by Grant which leads to an unending string of ass kickings that ends with the Union rampaging through the south and burning Atlanta ect.

Anyway, Bragg didn’t deserve a base being named after him for reasons besides being a confederate.

He sucked.

Different war ya dummy.

 

[ping72]

Wonderful news! Sounds like a great use of my tax money, thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!

Ah… it must be nice to have such privilege that you can assume nobody else cares about something simply because you don’t.

"heroes"? You guys are so intellectually lazy.

Is there any amount you wouldn't be willing pay?

 

[DFSNOLE]

Yeah. Because the "conservatives" have been so fiscally responsible. 🤣

 

[Whatsgoingonwitgyouguys0190]

The money doesn’t really bother you. It’s your boys in gray losing. It’s okay, we know you hate Bobtopia. You should move.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

They won you F****** idiot

So if the Confederacy had won they wouldn't be considered traitors?

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

62.5 million. Wow!

 

[Whatsgoingonwitgyouguys0190]

62.5 million. Wow!

Traitors with honors, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’n

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

I’d rather seen the 62 million buy more Himars for Ukraine…

 

[DooBi]

Our founding fathers were all "traitors".

That's why they don't have Fort Washington in England.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Different war ya dummy.

Yes, I agree the Civil War involving the Confederacy is different than the American Revolution against the British. We agree. 😉

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

You guys are so intellectually lazy.

Oh, the irony. 😆 Keep projecting. I’m sure your wife could use a few more welts and bruises on her face.

It is when you're f**king stupid maga scum.
