Fort LGBQT.
I wonder how many people call the Little Rock airport “The Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport?” I’d go with Der Slickmeister Field.
Renaming Army posts
It is time to rename some Army posts after enlisted men. I don’t have a complete list (and I don’t think it’s important to do all the renaming at one time).
Fort Hood, TX - Fort Audie Murphy (native of Texas)
Fort Bragg, NC - Fort Henry Johnson (native of North Carolina) (included on the affirmative action list)
Fort Campbell, TN - Fort Alvin York (native of Tennessee)
If we need to have a fort named after an Hispanic, Fort Buchanan, PR should be renamed Fort Agustín Ramos Calero (a native of Puerto Rico).
I retired in 1988. I wouldn’t do it again.
Was just going to write that.
He sure screwed the Franklin TN battle up. Which BTW, was one of the most deadly battles of the civil war.
Another piss poor Southern Generals was Bragg.
That makes too much sense. There are no social justice points.
Why not Fort Rachael Levine?
She is a Navy gal.
Joseph Johnston
Was the only General US Grant feared. Grant said that if Joe would have commanded the whole of the Southern Forces the Union might have lost.
War of attrition.
Does not matter. The destruction of our country continues full speed ahead.
I am with you and hate what these woke bastards have done to my country.
General Cavazos was an accomplished soldier and officer who became a General later in his career. We could rename the bases after accomplished Generals. Grant. Sherman. Eisenhower. MacArthur. Schwarzkopf. You could even throw Colin Powell in the mix although he was more of a politican rather than a General toe but he did play a role during thr Persian Gulf War (and Iraq War).
It was just a casual observation from someone who has studied The Civil War. If I have offended you, I offer my apologies.

Why do they keep winning at this BS!
Sorry, I did get your point. My point was they weren't necessarily named because a general was successful. Successful or not was a moot point.
Epa! Epa! Arriba!
I’m surprised Fort Floyd wasn’t on the table.
I think they can please all parties involved by just going with Fort Cinco de Juneteentho.
