I have no issue with re-naming a base. I have concerns over WHY they are doing it. Trying to purify our history will only doom us to repeat it. Lee was not pro slavery and only fought for the Confederacy out of duty to his homeland. That was a different time in American (and world) history. He was a brilliant military mind that was well respected by all peers.

Took these pics last week. We also toured through John Paul Jones house. Last Wednesday we did a self tour of the island of Portsmouth Navy Base and museum(only open to mil ID card holders on Thursdays), that was pretty cool. That base has camera restrictions especially near the sub docks etc.

Damn, that area is where I wa stationed with my first unit. NOB Norfolk was a cesspool back then. I cannot imagine it is much better now; so many of those building had too many issues to repair. They were trying to tear them down when I was there.

They might have torn them down and rebuilt. I looked at Google maps images of the 4 stateside bases I was stationed at and lived in base housing. All the housing has been replaced with homes that look like a normal suburban neighborhood. Not the bullshit cinder block housing I lived in. Actually looks nice.
