6 Army bases named after Confederate leaders get dates for new names

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.

Rumor has it that the Navy has just renamed one of it carriers USS Drag Queen.

But on the plus side these moves will scare the fertilizer out of the Red Chinese....North Koreans...Iranians...

[Old Grumpy]

This is SO wrong. I’d bet that nobody (or at least VERY FEW
people) know that the names of the bases in question were those nasty old confederates. Sigh.

The communists are systematically removing our American culture and replacing it with their synthetic “culture”.

They will eventually erase traditional Americans as well.

Or at least they’ll try.

[Retain Mike]

This initiative is contemptuous of families like mine who supplied the armed forces with eight volunteers over three generations. Never again.

So sorry to see uniforms turned into costumes. I still wear my service dress blues to the Memorial Day service in Redmond Oregon, but I have my Vietnam Service ribbons.

They’ll never name anything after a white guy ever again.

[Sarcazmo]

I wonder why they all have swords? Drawn.

They already named a ship after Harvey Milk.

Biden continues to do the Chinese Communist Overlords bidding. The check is in the mail.

And they wonder why recruiting has fallen in the sewer.

Nothing like a war to take care of that problem.

[Phoenix8]

the idea was to name bases after military leaders worthy of command and tradition.

Hate it or not but some of the best leaders in our history came from the South.
