The march of woke goes onward.

While I disdain the current batch of woke stupidity it should be noted that John Bell Hood was a piss poor general.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I retired 20 years ago. Feel very badly for people still on AD who have to deal with this woke s**t on a daily basis.
Prayers up for them!

Agreed. But everyone in Texas has heard of Fort Hood. Where is Fort Cavazos?

Hood was OK under Lee commanding Texans. Lee politely recommended against giving him a higher job. Joseph Johnston kept retreating towards Atlanta. He had earlier retreated toward Richmond, before getting wounded and was temporarily replaced by Lee, which became permanent. So they put Hood in charge of the remaining Confederate army in the west. He ignored Sherman in Georgia and reinvaded Tennessee and destroyed his army. Seems like sort of a joke to name the base for him to the first place.
However, FU to these sorts of changes.

They should rename Ft. Bragg to Ft. Fredendall, another incompetent General.

Everything is race to the Democrats. Everything is race to a racist.

Fort Cavazos , that’s a mouthful and no ring
To: crusty old prospector
That’s who Joaquin Castro would like to name it for.
He thinks the wrong side won the Mexican-American war, and Texas should belong to Mexico.

Name it Fort Nidal Hasan after the Army Major who murdered 13 soldiers and wounded 30 others; this murderer was pushed through the ranks due to a Democrat agenda and still breathes to this day.

“They weren’t named after generals who were good.”
I daresay that was My point in the first place. Which you apparently missed.
