Fort Hood to be renamed for Richard Cavazos, a four-star Hispanic general

My old army post Fort Gordon Georgia, to be renamed Fort Eisenhower, the post hospital is also named after Eisenhower too?!!

And the army post where I took my basic training Fort Benning, will be renamed Fort Monroe. I'm surprise there has not been any opposition to the name changes by the republicans?!!

Are you offended? Somebody always is, and most often it's pussy assed liberals.

Most Trumpers, like Pedo Don himself, dodged military service. I always found that odd of people claiming to be "Conservatives".

Why doesn't the military, just save time and call every base: '1, 2, 3...'?

Of course, that will leave progressives with less things to freak out about.

But...I am sure they will find something else that is completely unimportant to focus on.

Objecting to a wrong from the past is not 'freaking.'

Correcting the wrong is doing the right thing.

At the time he dodged we were aggressors in an unjust war , basically started with the Gulf of Tonkin lie.
BTW, Bill Clinton also dodged.
Hundreds of thousands of Russian conscientious objectors are dodging an unjust war. They are the true heroes.
Muhammad Ali risked jail for not succumbing to the draft for an undeclared and illegal war at the time.
I don’t see how anyone’s political leaning has anything to do with being “odd” for not joining the military , especially when it was during a time we were engaged in an immoral war.
Are you actually defending our role in that war?

I'm against war but understand freedom must be defended.

Do you believe we should have waited for state-supported terrorists to attack us on our own soil before acting against them?

North Vietnam and the Viet Cong won the war yet they never committed any terrorist attacks in the U.S. , so that pretty much destroys your argument that we invaded Vietnam to prevent terrorist attacks against the U.S. You sound very much like you are making excuses for justifying the Viet Nam war.
Sounds like you’re saying we should attack any country before they commit state supported terrorism on our own soil. I guess that would include Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Spain and Canada just to be sure?
If you are pro-war just say so. No big deal. That would put you in the neo-con Bush/McCain/Hillary war pig camp. To each their own.

Fucking mongrel fascist degenerate racist scumbag who sat on his ass at a stateside raw sewage depot wallowing in waste while REAL troops were at war. Just another coward thanked by cowards.

You have the benefit of 50 years of hindsight and you just jumped on the bandwagon long after the facts were established. In 1966 and 1967 very few Americans were anti-war or openly calling the conflict in Asia illegal and immoral.

Those that did tended to be hippies or others on the political left.

Republicans and conservatives were not known as anti-war protesters. It wasn't that many years ago that Republicans were hollering that we should have stayed in Vietnam and fought on to the final victory.

If you consider yourself conservative, and not in possession of 50 years of hindsight, there would have been almost no chance you would have been calling the Vietnam War illegal and immoral in 1967 or 68.

Interesting perspective to disagree with the communist containment strategy. Personally, I think Patton was correct to attack the USSR while we had the army there to do it. Obviously, you would disagree.

I only favor attacking those countries that would be planning to attack us. However, things have changed in the past 50-70 years since nukes become more common.

Do you favor backing down under Putin due to his threat to launch nukes?
