last week to veto the NDAA if congressional lawmakers approve the measure with Warren’s amendment intact.in the 82nd Airborne Division, maintained Sunday that the naming of Army installations after Confederate figures “does not represent what I think should be consistent with our … honoring of American military heroes.”
