I will Veto the Defense Authorization Bill if the Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren (of all people!) Amendment, which will lead to the renaming (plus other bad things!) of Fort Bragg, Fort Robert E. Lee, and many other Military Bases from which we won Two World Wars, is in the Bill!Link to tweet
I'll just let this one speak for itself.

(3,435 posts)he has the worst political instincts of any president since Andrew Johnson, who after the Civil War went around the country telling all of the people who had lost their sons to go easy on the confederates.

(7,404 posts)Fort Bragg (where I served for a short while) to Fort Truman for integrating the military.
Fort Robert E Lee to Fort Eisenhower.
After Congress overrides the Trump veto.

(40,245 posts)Fort Bragg was named in 1921, after WWI ended and Fort Robert E Lee was named in 1917.
Their names had nothing to do with winning wars. There names had everything to do with a segregated army, racism, and the Jim Crow laws throughout the south.
Trump is an ignorant slob. That is an actual fact!
This is one of the best ideas that Donald cracker Trump has ever had.

(1,789 posts)When this is all over, Trump will be in his rubber room still thinking he's president. The confederate generals can be his joint chiefs of staff.

(2,204 posts)As a retired military officer, it's definitely time to be rid of Confederate General named Posts and installations. Try Gavin, Sherman, Grant, Hooker, Pershing, MacArthur, Powell, Schwarzkopf etc....
