No plans to rename bases named for Confederates

(THE HILL) — The Pentagon said Wednesday that there is currently “no discussion” on renaming U.S. military bases that honor Confederate officers.

“As of now, there’s no discussion of adjusting our current naming policies,” said Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.

In the wake of a mass shooting at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C., some lawmakers and government officials are calling for Confederate flags and other symbols to be removed from government properties.
