They will name them after places. We are lead by cowards. Craven cowards.

The notion of War Fighters is to have esprit des corps. Naming something after a place is not going to engender the “War Face” and tradition needed for a world class kicka@@ military force. There has to be hero fighters, legends.

Like why— even up until today there has not been a Fort George Patton? Instead we have really nothing names like Fort Ord, and Fort Marcie.

And how about Fort Dix-—after James Adams Dix a union general notable for arresting the pro-Southern Maryland General Assembly, preventing that divided border state from coming into a quorum session to vote on seceding. And yet he worked out a prisoner exchange system with CSA general D.H. Hill.
