Civil War II: Ghosts, Fort Bragg, Fort Donelson, Texas and Republicans

JUNE 25, 2020


**  Confederate ghosts still haunt America.  (Like, BOO!!)

**  The City of Fort Bragg wrestles with its Confederate officer namesake.  (California)

**  Investigation concludes in vandalism  to Confederate monument at Fort Donelson  Battlefield.  (Took place June 10.  Case has been turned over to office of the U.S. Attorney.  I am surprised as I thought the rioters had carte blanche to do whatever they wanted to Confederate statues.  Some good news for a change.)

**  Confederate monument removed  in Denton (Texas)

**  Republicans are ready to counterpunch over Confederate-named military bases.

**  Army is taking limited steps to counter racial divisiveness.

**  Holmes Column:  History in the remaking.

**  If the military renames Southern bases,  whose names should replace  the Confederate  Generals?  (Personally, right now, I'd say any names other than that of Blacks.  That would be too much of a slap in the face.  Maybe down the road name some of them for deserving black military people.)

Wow, you mean it is possible that someone might get prosecuted for "vandalizing" a Confederate statue?  Who'd have thought in this enlightened age of looting and "vandalism?"
