I’m sure most vet will not use the new equity names for the bases that have had their names in excess of a hundred years.

Kinda like the innovation that nyc used with: ps1 - ps9999 ?

I wonder how much this renaming is going to cost ? Signs, street signs, buildings, already printed up envelopes and letterhead, ID Cards, contracts, etc...

Could be worse I guess, like FT. Rainbow or bud light U.S. Army Tank Depot.

It’s STILL Fort Hood. I served there. I KNOW where I served. And Cape Canaveral was “officially” Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973 -— and then people came back to reality.

At least Hood County, Texas is still named after him. That is not going to change anytime soon.

Unnecessary. Leave it alone.

Gen. Richard Edward Cavazos.

Named after another white guy.

I had ‘no argument’ that the general had a career of distinction. I have a huge argument with renaming bases to appease leftist loons.

Evidently a very fine fellow but someone no one had heard of--instead of one of the most famous generals of the Civil War.

Arguably Hood and Bragg did more to help the Yankees win the war than most of the Union generals did.

…..and American’s are going to wonder why no one will rush to America’s defense under a senile old man’s reign.

Rush to our defense? Are you kidding me? Almost everyone is running headlong screaming away from the US right now. Almost every nation of consequence is actively trying to dethrone the US dollar. Biden has done what no other president has done, welded Russia and China together. Biden has - single-handedly - turned Saudi Arabia against the US. Yeah, I get that the Saudis are no angels, but I guarantee you they are going to put a lot of hurt on the US economy down the road.

In summary, Biden has set the world on fire and has lashed countries together in their hatred for the US.

Very few countries with major economies are ever going to come to our aid.

Two Distinguished Service Crosses, Two Silver Stars and at least 5 Bronze Stars. Yep, he saw a few firefights.

I’m not questioning the character of the man. Great respect for the General.

My post was meant as sarcasm because hispanics are “white” when it suits their need and a person of color when that fits their need.

You missed his number 2 award for valor, the Distinguished Service Cross, second only to the Medal of Honor. That is the one on the top row, furthest to the right.

Thank you. I never served in the military but I'm not unfamiliar with certain citations, some more than others. I believe , from what I see that he was awarded the Bronze Star several times as there is a star on the one he is wearing, that means he was given that citation more than once, correct? This man is one hell of a soldier.

At least he was fighting Commies and not fellow Americans.

They are not your fellow Americans when they make you pay 72% of the taxes.
