  • Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense, has voiced strong opposition to removing the names of Confederate generals from US military bases, repeatedly saying the names should be changed back.

The article from CNN, published on January 13, 2025, discusses Fox News host Pete Hegseth's comments on the renaming of military bases previously named after Confederate generals. Hegseth, a former Army officer, expressed his disapproval of the decision to change these names, arguing that it erases history and dishonors the legacy of those who served at these bases. He believes that the names should be preserved as a part of American history, regardless of the controversial figures they represent. Critics of Hegseth's stance argue that honoring Confederate figures contradicts the values of unity and equality, especially given their association with slavery and secession. The debate reflects broader cultural and political discussions about how America should remember and honor its past, particularly in relation to the Civil War and its figures.
