    I personally don’t think they should change the names of bases just because they were confederates. I am from the North, but they were soldiers fighting for what they believed in whether it be tight or wrong

    When the military starts worrying about ‘woke’ BS like this, you know it is time to retire. No offense meant to those who are honored, but Rucker will always be Rucker to me.

      Same for me Terry, it seems to me the money spent to change the name of the bases could be used elsewhere to help our troops!!

    That is as ignorant as all the other crap that’s happening because of the BLM and their supporters, like the statues. Just some stupid idiots that should have been locked up.
