War on the Confederacy continues

Yes...I saw that and found it profoundly disturbing. Some years ago all Confederate graves (by act of Congress) were declared to be the grave of US Veterans. So is that going to changed and they will now be enemy combatants. Will be VA come and take back all the grave stone that have been placed there.
This whole issues smacks so much of political correctness and politics that it makes me sick. It displays a profound lack of knowledge about the reasons for the war and the men who fought it.
My disgust is as profound and deep as it can be. This will only serve to further divide an already divided country. Nothing good can come from this if the Army War College gives in to the pressure from the left.

I think the whole point is to divide, alienate, and demonize at every opportunity. You can't weave a new societal fabric without destroying the old. I don't think the left gives a tinkers dam about the damage it causes because they fully intend to do damage as much as possible.

In fact "fort" sounds pretty militaristic and non-inclusive or non-progressive. Like the purpose is to keep people out or something.
We should call forts, bases, or stations something like Inns. that evokes the opposite of out, like what a fort does.
We could name them after progressive political heroes rather than members of the killer class.
Inn Pelosi
Inn Barbara Boxer
Inn Hillary Clinton
Inn Sebelius
Like that.
They have already renamed armories (National

I need to "reorganize" my closets, and I'm tired of my old uniforms taking up space. I got several brushpiles to burn this winter, so....
FTA!
