Monuments to Treason and Incompetence

President Trump has refused to even consider renaming 10 U.S. military facilities whose names memorialize military leaders of the traitors who  violated their Constitutional oaths and made war on their own country. 

It has been suggested that we should rename as many as 10 of our Legendary Military Bases, such as Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Benning in Georgia, etc. These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a...

The  "Great American Heritage" Trump proclaims is actually called treason and the men whose names are attached to these military facilities committed that treason with their insurrection and many continued after their military defeats to deny freed black Americans their Constitutional rights.  Ironically, most of the officers whose names adorn these sites were at best mediocre military leaders.  Even, Robert E. Lee, whose reputation as a general has been fluffed up by revisionist in the South, was demonstrably weak as a strategist and failed to recognize the the Civil War represented a new form of warfare that made much of Lee's concept of tactical leadership obsolete.

What is important to understand is that Grant’s dimmed reputation was driven in large part by the need to discredit Reconstruction and valorize the Confederacy. Particularly its generals like Robert E. Lee. In many ways the South lost the war but won the peace. Winning the peace meant discrediting the victors. 

Here's a contemporary general's evaluation of the traitors' military skills.  A couple of examples:

Braxton Bragg, of Ft Bragg NC fame, is “considered among the worst Southern generals. Most of his battles ended in defeats.Extremely unpopular w/ his men, he was criticized for many faults, including poor battlefield strategy, quick temper & overzealous discipline.” 

“George Pickett (Ft Pickett, Va)is best remembered for graduating last of 59 cadets in the West Point class of 1846 & for commanding the futile & bloody charge on the 3d day of the Battle of Gettysburg bearing his name.” 

“Having few victories & many defeats post Gettysburg, He fell out of favor. Following the war, Pickett feared prosecution for his execution of deserters & fled to Canada” 

Not only failures as citizens and oath breakers - most of these examples of "Great American Heritage" were mediocre military leaders with a history of failures that left battlefield strewn with the dead bodies of their own troops.
