Austin Implements Base Renaming

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday signed off on an independent commission's recommendations to rename military bases that honor Confederate officers and scrub a long list of references commemorating the southern rebellion.
The Naming Commission, established by Congress last year, took inventory of all of the military's contemporary references to the Confederecy, which waged war against the United States to preserve the slave trade. It found nine Army bases and several buildings commemorating rebel officers, in addition to a monument honoring Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
Fort Polk, Louisiana, for example will be named after Sgt. William Johnson, a Black Medal of Honor recipient for valor during World War I. Fort Benning, Georgia, will be renamed Fort Moore in commemoration of Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, a famed cavalry officer depicted in "We Were Soldiers
The other bases with their planned new names are:
Fort Bragg, North Carolina -- Fort Liberty
Fort Gordon, Georgia -- Fort Eisenhower
Fort Hood, Texas -- Fort Cavazos
Fort Lee, Virginia -- Fort Gregg-Adams
Fort Pickett, Virginia -- Fort Barfoot
Fort Rucker, Alabama -- Fort Novosel

Fort Hood, Texas -- Fort Cavazos
Cavazos is because he was the first 4 star General of hispanic descent.
quote:
Fort Lee, Virginia -- Fort Gregg-Adams
Gregg is a first black man and Adams is first black woman to be officers of some rank.
quote:
Fort Pickett, Virginia -- Fort Barfoot
Nothing intersectional about this guy. A ww2 and medal of honor hero.
quote:
Fort Rucker, Alabama -- Fort Novosel
Medal of honor recipient from Alabama.
Nothing really that off, the racial aspect aside the names are fine.

What about Fort Saint Floyd? They could honor the Saint and martyr.

They wish to remove any ideas of rebellion against the government.
They could give a frick about the confederate names being racist.
Remove all history of rebellion so the populace doesn't get any ideas.
American Revolution leaders are next.

No. It's because they are White symbols of rebellion.

Because they are White.

Have not heard a single person at ft Gordon thinking this is a great idea, or even "Let's spend that money on new signage".

I’m not sure about the others, but I know Novosel was a heterosexual white man.
The oppression never ends.

Low-T has reached epidemic proportions.

It’s insane when you realize a black general, who is likely a Democrat is worried about confederate names when at the same time the party he’s blindly loyal to is the origins of all his grievances.

White Southern men have been the backbone in Army combat forces ever since the All Volunteer force was implemented. I can’t think of a bigger Eff’ You to them than this.

This is not what the civil war was fought over. The liberals want you to think this, and while it may have been a small component, the civil war was fought over big government interference and lack of equal representation in congress for southern states.

Im not up in arms about it but I also think it's a terrible idea.
Most of these people were considered brilliant military minds. Part of recognizing them was to help with reunification and bring military pride to areas that this nation depends on.
The military rarely thinks of the 2nd and 3rd order effects of these actions.
