This is like pissing in the wind, as if this is a big issue for anyone.
At least Benning got renamed for Colonel Hal Moore, but “Liberty” is so lame.
These Forts already had names and I would have thought that those of us living and dead who made them famous, would have already made the real names of the forts enduring and timeless.
This is good
Obviously
This will be a quandary for south bashers here given their Trump hatred Uke love
(Bragg really sucked though ASJ rip)
While the feral government is putting thousands of political prisoners in the worst prisons DeSanctimonius wants to fight over names. Kabuki theater of the right wing of the Uniparty vulture.
Screw the neocon establishment sellout that is owned by the Republican donor class.
While I like the sentiment - this is down at like number 100 of the things that need to be done.
Might be a great applause line in NC, but carries the risk of being called out as a unreconstructed rebel racist by current or future political opponents.
I think this was a desperate ploy for a few handclaps in the short run and shows a lot of weakness in his War Room thinking.
Republican candidates and elected officials alike, should embrace the fact that these famous bases ARE named for Confederate Generals and heroes. Use the precedent that the US Army reunited without rancor after a bloody Civil War that took over a million lives.
These military bases are the opposite of divisiveness when seen in that light, as most people (other than idiots on the left) will “get it.”
Even someone like Stephen A. Smith acknowledges what is going on -- that the powers that be can't beat Trump legitimately.
So, the Republican party, ALL OF IT -- rally Trump or his supporters will, in the words of Michael Brown's stepfather Louis Head, "burn this bitch to the ground".
It's Trump or communism in 2024.
This re-naming of military facilities is just another petty fit-throwing middle-finger-at-normals endeavor. Changing the name does not change the history.
Smart move by DeSantis. Having military experience helps as well.
That was then.
Now that he's (admitting he's) running for president, he'll pander to you.
Good. I am sick and tired of this name-changing.
Oh. So there are Good People that oppose the name change? What a surprise. /s
desanctomonious is pandering, nothing more. He will never do it. We are back to politicians who promise the moon, but never do what they say. Trump did exactly what he said he would do. And he will again.
DeSantis is beholden to the stationery industry.
The DOD is changing names of bases named for Confederate generals. I’m surprised they didn’t name one Fort Maxwell Klinger!! 🤓
If he really wanted to set him self up for 2028 he would pull out to race and throw his support to Trump in order to protest what is going on.
If they were going to rename US bases in the south, they should have picked more accurate, easier to understand names like Fort Hot, Fort Hotter and Fort Hottest.
