Don't forget the horrible name given to the anti-aircraft missile system: Patroit

Yup. It's like a judo strangle hold. You press and press to get an advantage. Soon as you get that advantage, you work towards a better position until domination.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

SJW are already calling for the renaming of streets on Fort Hamilton NY that are named after some Confederates.


Ft. Polk too

Wait till they find out there's two Confederate generals buried at Arlington (Joe Wheeler and Marcus J. Wright).

Actually, there are well over 400 confederates buried there along with a huge memorial statue to the Confederate dead.

Guess the SJW"s will want to dig 'um all up!

And the 2000 buried in the Rock Island (IL) Arsenal National Cemetery.

Rock Island Confederate Cemetery

Between 1863 and 1865, the federal government established a second cemetery of a little more than two acres for the burial of Confederate prisoners of war. Approximately 1,950 soldiers died at the Rock Island Confederate Prison, founded there in 1863. The first POWs, captured during the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge in Tennessee in November 1863, arrived in December. Throughout the war, Confederates were brought to Rock Island from battle areas throughout the South; eventually, more than 12,000 POWs were confined there. Prisoners died from a variety of causes, including exposure to the cold, harsh winters, malnutrition and diseases such as smallpox.

And the Confederate cemetery in on the west side of Columbus, Ohio.

It was right down the road from my house. We used to take field trips there in school as part of the history lectures. Funny thing is, none of the black kids in the class had to find a safe place after visiting it. Heck it was about a block away from my best friends house.

The Camp Chase Cemetery is located in what is now the Hilltop neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The Camp Chase Site, including the cemetery, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Confederate cemetery contains 2,260 graves.

Wait till SJWs find out that Arlington National Cemetery is on General Lee's personal property, where it had once been tended by slaves! Oh, the horror.

Root cause of this nonsense is losing control of our educational system. We loaned our young people to that system, and the prevalence of SJWs and snowflakes is the result.
