"Fort Cesar Romero"

You could do worse. USGC decorated WW2 veteran, Nixon supporter, played a role in knocking off JFK's Pierre Sallinger with George Murphy, and was a Reaganite Republican. Just call it Fort Butch.

Fort Brandon

[Clemenza]

😂 My grandfather served with Ceaser Romero in the USCG in WWII (USS Bayfield I believe). Said he was a nice person, great to work with, and never tried to (to his knowledge) seduce any of his fellow sailors to while on duty.

Fort Surrender.

These names need to changed back immediately when we take back control and raise the confederate battle flag just to piss off these leftists. Get in their faces and abuse the crap out of Democrats today.

[StAnDeliver]

We can keep them all just as they are now, if we submit new names to match 'diver-su-tuh'. Women and blacks:

Fort Annette Benning, Ga.

Fort Kim Gordon, Ga. (Sonic Youth bassist)

Fort Vicki Lee, Va.

Fort Wilson Pickett, Va.

Fort Polk Salad Annie, La.

How ‘bout Fort Whatthephuqueiswrongwiththesehaters

insurrectionists

The truth is if Lincoln had called up troops to fight to free slaves he'd not been successful. Three states seceded after Lincoln sanctioned invasion of the South. At Shiloh a Yankee commander wrote that if the fight was to be over freeing slaves, he'd been lucky to get a regiment together. Written history is sadly not precise nor correct in many instances and takes erudite research to make a cogent decision.

[DiogenesLamp]

OTOH, How frickin’ insane is it to name your military bases after insurrectionists?

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were "insurrectionists."

[Lisbon1940]

In physics, Bragg is known for scattering.

Fort Faaaaaabulous!

One reason people today are so misinformed about history is because the winners went to such great lengths to lie about their motives and what they did.

I am texting with my SIL. He’s in the 82nd at Bragg. He had no idea this was going to occur. I told him it should be renamed Ft. Surrender given the fluster cuck last August in Afghanistan. I asked him if they will raise Antifa, bLM and Gay Pride flags at the gates, so everyone knows they are entering a woke-zone. He’s pissed.

When are they going to start renaming the hundreds of building named after for Grand Kleagle of the KKK, Robert Byrd?

[Midwesterner53]

He did veto the bill but the spirit of reconciliation has long ago died in the Congress and the veto was over ridden.

When will the wokesters go after all the places in West Virginia named after Robert Byrd (D-KKK)?

[Theodore R.]

“Fort Anita Hill,” rather than General A.P. Hill; the American people will never figure it out

[Blennos]

We should all thank Nimrata Randhawa for getting this ball rolling. It’s not her history, so she doesn’t care.

You had me stumped at first. Then I found out this is the birth name of Nikki Haley. I see your point.

[dangus]

BWAHAHAHA!!! It’s the idiotic “War of Northern Aggression” theory, the Dianetics of internet politics!!!

Sorry, no, the troops at Fort Sumter had retreated from other military bases across the South. The Confederacy attacked the North in the process of leaving, still outranking the Invasion of Kiev as the dumbest-ass thing ever done in military history! For a consolation prize, you get this lovely, hooded white cloak; don’t worry, those bloodstains will wash right out!

[Reily]

The Byrd Cult still has plenty of worshippers in WV it’s often accompanied with the Kennedy Cult. (However, the Kennedy Cult is dying out as its followers pass away.) Two current WV politicians aspire for similar divine status - Capito & Manchin. It’s Manchin’s Plan B if Plan A fails.
