It would be a lot more in line with the Army values to say "Look, we named the bases after these old racist white guys because we needed to appeal to southern white men to bolster Army numbers during WWII."
Is this the complete list?
Fort AP Hill, VA - Confederate General Amborse Powell (AP) Hill
Camp Beauregard LA - Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard
Fort Benning, GA – Confederate Brigadier General Henry L. Benning
Fort Bragg, NC – Confederate General Braxton Bragg
Fort Gordon, GA - Confederate Lieutenant General John Brown Gordon
Fort Hood, TX - Confederate General John Bell Hood
Fort Lee, VA – Confederate General Robert E. Lee
Fort Picket VA - Confederate General George E. Pickett
Fort Polk, LA - Confederate General Reverend Leonidas Polk
Fort Rucker, AL – Confederate Colonel Edmund W. Rucker
Fort Stewart, GA – Confederate Brigadier General Daniel Stewart
Camp Van Dorn MS – Confederate General Earl Van Dorn
You should name these guys-shouldn't you?
