We can rename bases and take down Confederate monuments without erasing history. We don't build statues of revolutionary war British generals, we don't name bases after Islamic terrorists and we don't name high schools after Japanese WW2 naval admirals, yet nobody forgets those.
Why anybody ever though it was a good idea to honor foreign enemies is beyond me. Might as well name an army base in New York after Osama bin laden. Just curious, how many civil war confederate monuments are in NE.? And how many have been defaced or taken down?
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

They usually weren't named in honor as much as they were named to reconcile in an attempt to heal the land north to south.

They usually weren't named in honor as much as they were named to reconcile in an attempt to heal the land north to south. I know that's why they were put up. It's also why all civil war soldiers were declared to be American vets. Kinda strange, though, since they didn't fight for America.

Why stop at statues of confederate soldiers. Figure tombstones should go next.

Don't forget that Gone with the wind won't be played now on TV because it shows slavery and slaves. Now I ain't gonna be able to sleep tonight.
