quote:
In addition to the Louisiana National Guards’ Camp Beauregard, nine U.S. Army bases around the South will be renamed as part of the Pentagon’s efforts to move away from names linked to Confederate soldiers or victories.
Each of the nine bases’ new names has been chosen, with redesignation ceremonies scheduled to happen later this year.
quote:
Fort Polk will become Fort Johnson.
Fort Benning in Georgia will become Fort Moore.
Fort Gordon in Georgia, will be renamed Fort Eisenhower.
Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia will be redesignated Fort Walker.
Fort Hood in Texas will become Fort Cavazos.
Fort Pickett in Virginia will become Fort Barfoot.
Fort Lee in Virginia will be renamed for two soldiers and become Fort Gregg-Adams.
Fort Rucker in Alabama will be redesignated in honor of Chief Warrant Officer Michael Novsel.
Fort Bragg, in North Carolina, will become Fort Liberty.
quote:
In addition to the bases, there are more than 1,000 other items including streets, buildings and ships which have names with Confederate links that will also be changed.

Wow, talk about some money laundering

The only reason Government pushes woke shite like this is when someone stands to make money. Either the government or their friends.

I never understood why we named United States bases after officers of another "country".

It says Fort Bragg on my DD-214. It will always be Fort Bragg to me.

Because, priorities. Ridiculous that we just forget history because people actively look for things to be offended about.

It seems the democrats will do everything they can except their actual jobs.

The wokesters love to put history in a memory hole. Many of the forts were given Confederate names because the military needed to recruit southern boys for WWI. They weren't going to volunteer for Fort Lincoln or Fort Sherman.

Never forget that a sizable group of GOPers overrode Trump's veto on this bill and stabbed us in the back.

At least this will finally put an end to racism

$62.5MM...basically $7mm per base. That's a shiite-ton of signage that needs to be swapped out

I will undo this via EO. I don't care if we go to Home Depot, buy plywood and spray paint and make it happen. This is just dumb.

When do we get one named for a trans general?
Posted on 3/23/23 at 1:00 pm to WPBTiger
So the names of former democrats are being removed off some bases.
