What will the US Military do if China invades Taiwan? Or if Russia stops playing games and decides to go full Walter White on the corrupt Ukrainian Regime? If there is any indications, probably not much.
Washington’s Naming Commission — comprised of four civilians and as many retired military vets — came to final conclusions regarding seven different Department of Defense “assets.” In its report, the group recommended a renaming of sites honoring Confederate General Robert E. Lee, along with Generals P.G.T. Beauregard and William Hardee.
Historical Note: Robert E. Lee served as superintendent of the United States Military Academy from 1852 to 1855.
And over the holidays, the United States Military Academy at West Point began the process of purging Lee from its hallowed halls.
As relayed by the Daily News, Superintendent Lieutenant General Steve Gilland released a December 26th statement:
“During the holiday break, we will begin a multi-phased process, in accordance with Department of Defense directives, to remove, rename or modify assets and real property at the United States Military Academy and West Point installation that commemorate or memorialize the Confederacy or those who voluntarily served with the Confederacy.”
“We will conduct these actions with dignity and respect,” he added.
Included in the extraction: a 20-foot portrait. The 1931 painting of Lee has long towered over cadets in West Point’s Jefferson Hall library.
Monikers being stricken from the school:
- Lee Road
- Lee Gate
- Lee Area Child Development Center
- Lee Housing Area
- Lee Barracks
Sad and disgusting.
I hope your grandfather isn’t named Charles Lewis.
Horrible just horrible history of a great leader and a icon of military stature
I will have continuing comment on his. great trravesty.
Well, that ought to eliminate racism in America… SMH…
A big step in removing history and accomplishment of a great leader and nation
America’s ‘shameful’ past has lead to the creation of a nation that over half the world’s population would move to if they could and that none of the nation’s critics will leave, even though they can…every day they wake up.
Racism is an Attitude that takes place in One’s mind.
Discrimination is an Overt Act taking place in The Real World.
Wake Up You Liberal Mental Midgets, Wake The Funk Up!
I am just so tired of all the hate and destruction then blaming it all on white people and calling it white privilege. Housing projects were built for both black and white by white people but if you have ever seen one after being occupied only one race destroys it. Go to any large city and tell me who lives in the area of burned out garbage ridden destroyed neighborhoods. I have black friends that are happy to work and own a home just like white people but then there are the ones that have been groomed by the democrats to destroy and act oppressed. The killing of George Floyd was wrong but because of one guys actions all white people should pay? I look at the sports figures that have million dollar contracts and ask “where is the oppression?” I look at music with multi-millionaires that are black and ask “where is the oppression?” Seems to me the black people have the same ability as any white person to succeed if they choose but many would rather play the victim and place blame on us white people that pay for their destruction. Why do black celebrities always side with the people that claim to be oppressed instead of telling them they have the same opportunities?
“If you think illegal children should be allowed to stay here because their parents broke the law, but think white folks should be punished because of slavery 200 years ago, you may be a Democrat”.
