The Confederate Flag Under Attack-- Part 2: Ten Army Bases Named for Confederate Officers

From the June 23, 2015, Time "U.S. Waves Over 10 Army Bases Named for Confederate Officers."

Of course, this is also a point of contention for the anti-Confederate folks these days.  Their names must be changed.

Nine of the bases are named after Confederate generals and one for a colonel.  The bases received their names long after the war, some into the 20th Century as the world wars were building.

The Pentagon announced they were not considering renaming the bases.  All of the Confederate officers served in the U.S. Army before the war.

The Army bases, where located, Confederate officer, years lived and West Point Class
