    The renaming of military ‘posts’ to non-Confederate names is already in progress for some time now. The removal of the monument from Arlington is part of that process.
    Did you read the article: “Virginia’s governor, Glenn Youngkin, disagrees with the decision and plans to move the monument to the New Market battlefield state historical park in the Shenandoah Valley…”

      Well aware that the re naming effort is complete. Mostly abysmal names, though Gregg-Adams and Novosel are pretty good. When you have amazing humans like Medal of Honor recipient Roy Benavidez and choose Liberty as the new name for Bragg over Benavidez, because he wasn’t an officer, that’s fucked up.
