** From 'Roll Tide' to 'Gator Bait', college football reckons with problematic traditions. (These are Confederate or Antebellum-related. Very interesting article. I will write about it soon in my Saw the Elephant: Civil War blog.
** Show of force on US streets and crisis at Fort Hood tested army secretary this year. Also renaming Confederate bases.
** Trump vetoes colossal $740 billion defense bill, breaking with Republican-led Senate. (He did as he said he would do, evidently. Again, I am in favor of renaming the bases, but, please not all black people. Regardless of how good a man the Confederate officers were, the fact is that they still chose to fight their country.)
** Fort Benning is named for a slave-owning secessionist. That could soon change. (Georgia)
** Warner: 'I look forward' to overriding Trump's veto of defense partly over Confederate issue. (Senator Mark Warner of Virginia. From Virginia? Surprise. He's a Democrat? Another surprise.)
** With hate crimes on the rise, GOP senators go all-in for racist statues. (Yep. Lots of hate crimes being committed against Confederate statues and symbols these days.)
