Controversy Over Military Base Name RestorationsSeven U.S. military bases were renamed last week, reverting changes made under the Biden administration.
- Senator Angus King challenged the decision to restore Confederate generals’ names to military installations.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth argued that returning to original names boosts Army morale.
- President Trump announced last week that seven bases would revert to their former Confederate-linked names.
- These bases are located across Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and Virginia.
Why are you going through these incredible gymnastics, finding current soldiers or other soldiers to rename — and you slipped a minute ago, you said ‘we’re returning these bases to their original names’ — Robert E. Lee, leading general of the Confederacy, Pickett, the other names?— Senator Angus King questions Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about reverting military base names to Confederate figures.
