[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3316967, member: 12852"] Counterpoint: our history is our history, both the good and the bad, and shouldn't be whitewashed if it's embarrassing lest we repeat it again in the future. All the monuments of "Civil War" figures shouldn't be torn down either. Whether we agree with them or not, they're memorialized because they were standout men of their day and age at pivotal moments in history. They should all be remembered; the good with the bad. Fort Hood wasn't some old Army base named during or shortly after the "Civil War" that kept its Confederate era name far too long. It was designated and named after WWII. There was plenty of time for the democrats in control of the White House and Texas governor's mansion to find a more appropriate Texas war hero after whom they could name the installation if it was worth doing. Once they picked the name Hood there's never been a good reason to change it. If John Bell Hood was worth being memorialized 70 years ago why shouldn't he still be remembered today? Both the good things he did and the bad? [/QUOTE]
