So navy is going to ban Confederate flags

When is it going to rename the Stennis and Vinson?

When is the Army going to rename
Camp Beauregard?
Fort Bragg?
Fort Benning?
Fort Gordon?
Fort AP Hill?
Fort Hood?
Fort Lee?
Fort Pickett?
Fort Polk?
Fort Rucker?

These are military facilities and ships named after racists and murderers and traitors.
