Well, there’s always Robin Hood. Oh, wait. He’s a Brit.

[Texas resident]

No kidding. The outskirts of Ft. Benning and Ft. Sill are dangerous places.

[Midwesterner53]

A half step in the right direction. But the original names were given in a spirit of reconciliation that no longer exists.

[HIDEK6]

Ha!

[Texas resident]

Changing the names of Army posts is expensive and not needed.

More BS govt spending that didn’t need to be done.

[Midwesterner53]

Next could be Ft Lee to be named after Revolutionary War hero Richard Henry (Light Horse Harry) Lee. Ft Pickett could be named after every soldier who ever stood guard duty. Ft Polk after president James K Polk, others could be worked up too.

bttt

I’m glad that they found a more worthy man named Benning to name the fort after, although renaming it after Gen Hal Moore was the only change that I thought made sense. Hopefully there will be a new Army fort or camp that will be named after him in the future.

“ Naming Southern bases after Confederates helped people remember where they were.”

Awesome.

“My bases Keesler, Minot, Anderson, McClellan.”

Mine were Lackland, Keesler, Langley, Westover, Tempelhof, and Kelly. Wait until some filthy democrat politician wants to change those.

[Theophilus]

It’s Benning once moore.

[rellic]

I left out Lackland as that was BMT. doesn’t really count as a PCS for me.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Shame on our generals that were fired.

[Bonemaker]

I hear you. I went through 3 months of OTS there in 1963 then TDY for 5 weeks during Operation Homecoming so I counted it. So can you by the way.

The Pentagon announced Monday that Fort Moore, formerly named Fort Benning for a Confederate general, will again be named Fort Benning, although it will now honor a different Benning.

Still trying to please everyone. Still letting the liberals get away with their sh*t.
