Here Are 24 Alternate Names For U.S. Army Forts And Military Bases
The Federalist ^ | June 11, 2020 | Anominous

Posted on 06/11/2020 3:30:33 PM PDT by Kaslin

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he “will not even consider” renaming military bases like Fort Hood or Fort Bragg. But perhaps it is still worth considering the possibilities of offering recruits more truth in advertising via modern names. The following suggestions were sent in to us at The Federalist as potential solutions for this thorny problem:

Fort I Just Wanted Tuition Assistance

Fort 100% Promotion Rate

Fort 24% Interest Rate On A Camaro

Fort Distract Everyone With New Uniforms

Fort We’ve Been Using The Same Small Arms For Fifty Years But The Navy Needs A New Carrier

Fort Don’t Want To Repeat Vietnam So Let’s Repeat Vietnam

Fort Tommy Franks Was An Idiot

Fort Bush Should Have Mined The Passages To Pakistan From Tora Bora

Fort Worthless Training Exercise

Fort VA Disability Claims

Fort Your Parts For Your Humvee Will Arrive In 6 Months

Fort Paula Broadwell’s Push Up Regimen Is Very Hard

Fort Act Like We Have Something To Train For, Then Do Equipment Inventories Instead

Fort Why Do Sergeant Majors Even Exist

Fort The General Is Getting A Sweet Gig With Lockheed Next Month

Fort Always Ready, At 40% Of Authorized Strength

Fort Unsustainable Cash Hemorrhage

Fort Two Advil Should Fix That Right Up

Fort PFC Numbnuts Married That Chick He Just Met Last Friday

Fort Fix PTSD On Your Own Time

Fort 35 Year Old Private With 6 Kids

Fort Are We Really Changing Uniforms Again?

Fort No, Seriously, Tommy Franks Really Blew It

Fort No That’s The Wrong Form Come Back Monday When We Are Closed

What about:

Fort Michael Brown
Fort George Floyd
Fort Skittle Boy

Or should we change the name of St. Paul’s Cathedral in NYC to St. George Floyd’s?

Fools. Wanting to rename military bases because it’s fashionable. Petraeus is the biggest tool bag now. Claiming to be a historian. A General(Army at that). I am really taken back by him saying the Confederates many of or bases are named from were traitors and incompetent! . I’m from NY... this is part of outer history. Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. I could keep going on, but screw it. I’m getting a beer!

Screw the base names, how about changing the name of the Nation’s longest transcontinental highway network from Martin Luther King Blvd. to Route 666...

Talking about this at the coffee shop this morning, most of us are Vietnam or era Vet’s. Since we’re a bunch of Texas boy’s we’re pretty proud of Ft Hood and definitely don’t want it or any of them renamed. If it came down to it and we had no choice we all agreed in renaming Fort Hood to Fort Benavidez. One of the toughest men this state ever produced. The Mad Mexican!

Anybody else think that Al Capp would have no chance in today's media?! He knew it was a swamp before anyone else!

Now, I can go with Fort Washington. They can think Booker T and I can think George.
