Absolutely spot on.!!! In 1917 the names meant something as part of the so called Reconciliation. But ask any soldier and the will say. Benning or Polk when asked where they served, just like someone would say Dallas or Philly when asked where they are from. Just more Woke thought control.

Fort Sam Houston could surely be Fort Rachel Levine because of the medical school.

However, would Tulsi Gabbard leave Hawaii and enter the political realm in Texas when that shift happens?

Beto ain’t gettin elected, but Tulsi surely could with the almost flip from the democrats moving in...

Sometimes I scare myself thinking about the evil we face daily (sad face)

Fort Rachel Levine. Yeah I know he’s Navy, but what the hell.


Dr Levine is not navy but in the U.S. Public Health Service. He (and they) wear Navy uniforms, but aren’t any part of the Navy.

It’s reassuring that congress has finally gotten down to business and doing something positive for the American people.

WTF!!

The forts mentioned are all currently named after American heroes, and should remain so named. To have losers like Omar and Sheila Jackson Lee erase our history...is disgusting and shameful. These clowns need to be run out of town. Our country is in its death throes, and as a retired military, my heart is broken.

By the way, although Harriett did not serve, Jimmy Hendrix did, in the paratroops. Ft Hendrix is more palatable than naming an installation after a felon like Floyd...

Unbelievable...

“ At this point, just use numbers.

Fort 1

Fort 2

Fort 3”

Nope. Numbers are math and that’s racist. Too bad to, because 2z^2/(1-z-6z^2+4z^3) has a nice ring to it.

I will always say, “I got my Airborne wings at Fort Benning,” no matter what they rename it.

Camp Jemima has a nice ring to it. And that name is probably still available.

I live on the Alabama side of the river across from Columbus, Georgia and Fort Benning. There were hilltop forts with cannon’s defending the manufacturing town of Columbus from Yankee raiders. I live close to Confederate Fort #5. It is a nice view from up there. The historic marker for the site is off the main road and up on a little clearing where practically no one can see it. The local pols are so ashamed of the word, “Confederate” they make young snowflakes seem robust in comparison.

Colon Bowell, who lied us into the Iraq War to be honored. He’s black. That’s the most important qualification. Nothing else matters.

This makes me so angry that I must not admit how it makes me feel.

I just hope that one day we are able to take our country back.

John Bell Hood? American hero?

Might re-think that one - not a model for emulation.
