Trump stands fast, will not rename Army posts named for Confederate generals; The president is not a fan of rewriting history.

The left's drive to dominate American society and culture.

Lifezette  "Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy may not be in office too much longer. Why? Because, contrary to the subsequently expressed wishes of his boss-President Trump, in a Stalinist move designed to appeal to a PC audience, McCarthy expressed interest in changing the name of Army posts (other services have “bases”, the Army has “posts”) from their present names (these specific posts are named after Confederate generals) to other less martial labels.
"But the president is adamant in his stance for history and U.S. military tradition. In tweets on Wednesday afternoon, Trump called the posts “Hallowed Grounds” that helped train troops to win two world wars. His administration “will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations…These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom. Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations. Our history as the Greatest Nation in the World will not be tampered with. Respect our Military!' ” . . .

Remember our military contains thousands of millennial-aged people who feel thus:
At certain ranks the rarified air is filled less with military respect for unit cohesion and more with an eye to the latest press release or rioter demand. As such, they continued, “We feel the frustration and anger. We need to work harder to earn the trust of mothers and fathers who hesitate to hand their sons and daughters into our care.” “Care”? Funny, they called it something else when I was in the Army.

I'd say about this time Fort Bragg would have been a cherished memory to these paratroopers. TD
