Several U.S. Army bases will officially get their new names in the coming months as the military seeks to redesignate bases that currently honor Confederate leaders.
Driving the news: Fort Hood, the major Army base in central Texas, will be redesignated as Fort Cavazos on May 9, the base announced Friday.
The new name honors Gen. Richard Cavazos, the first Latino four-star general and first Latino brigadier general. The base is currently named for John Bell Hood, a Confederate general.
Fort Pickett in Virginia was renamed Fort Barfoot on Friday.

More proof that government isn’t focused on things that matter. After decades this suddenly becomes important. It doesn’t free any slaves. Those damn Yankees still won the War of Northern Aggression. Not a single life is improved. However, it does erase a little history and wastes money that we do not have. I doubt if it improves military recruiting which is at all-time lows.

Just plain stupid...There’s so much paperwork with those names...what’s the point? And they deserve the respect of their heirs.

Howz about a base named after that sicko who was in charge of nuclear disposal until he/she/IT got caught with multiple felonies? Any wonder why our military is fast gaining the respect that we give to a turd sitting a toilet Democrat-run city sidewalk?

I spent 17 of my 22 years of military service assigned to
Fort Hood, Texas.
So, it doesn't matter to me .. and probably as well for the other tens of thousands of veterans living in the Killeen/Temple/Fort Hood area; it will always be Fort Hood.

The left enjoys slapping the military around. Changing the name of a town is different. See the difference? How many towns? Know why?

That’s the irony of it all. The guys who did the fighting were OK with naming installations after Confederates. Of course, they were looking to unite the nation, rather than divide it.

Yup. Regardless of what the powers that be say, keep using the old names.
When someone uses the new name, correct them and say,
“You mean Ft. Hood. That’s the name it was when I was active duty and it still will always be Fort Hood. Don’t steal my memories.”
