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

Make them eat their own. Pass an amendment as part of the appropriations act the that removes from office any and all persons belonging to any political party associated with the Confederacy, resistance to Reconstruction in the South, and tied in any way to Socialist aims.

Make them live up to their own history, rather than trying to wipe out all evidence of their past stand for slavery.

The US Constitution on Treason (Article 3, Section 3) “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”

Are you seriously stating that the members of the Confederate Army (especially their generals) we not levying war against the United States?

As far as the incompetence claim, not all, but certainly some. Would you really want to defend the competence of Braxton Bragg (lost Chattanooga to Grant, relieved of command by Jeff Davis). Even though Hood was a (somewhat) competent Division and Corps commander, he kinda sucked (another word for incompetence) as an Army commander. He lost Atlanta (and, really, the entire state of Georgia) to Sherman. Neither are poster children for competence.

My personal opinion is that the Forts named for Confederate commanders should be renamed for Medal of Honor winners from the state the Fort is in. Fort Hood, for example, could be renamed Fort Audie Murphy, after the most decorated soldier (and a Texas native, which Hood wasn’t) of WW2.

After all, shouldn’t US Army bases be named after US Army heroes?
