I'm all for honoring a veteran, but this is not why he was chosen and that is the problem.
The solution to all of this garbage is simple. Stop naming government installations after people. Same goes for schools. Location or number designations. Done stamp.

"and you don't have to call me Johnson ... Johnson". "You never even called me by my name".

I was stationed a Fort Polk briefly after the First Gulf War. The main thing I remember is during the summer, every day between 2-3 in the afternoon it would come a freaking deluge. Then as quick as it came, the rain was gone, the clouds were gone, and the sun, heat, and humidity were just brutal. Within minutes everything had steam coming off it, including us.
Yup. It's even worse the closer you get to the Gulf.

Thought I was going to read the new name was Fort Poke.
Posted on 6/14/23 at 11:00 am to Darth_Vader
Ngl I always thought it was named after President James K Polk.

Our new military loves to dick around.

Bridge #62, instead of the Huey P. Long. I could be on board with that.
