I grew up with it being called Ft. Hood and it’s still Fort Hood to me. I do not acknowledge it as Ft. Cavazos and never will.

And Walkeen Castro is the Chief Dismantler.

Any way to assert that “this is mexico” they will do. Including overamping their role in the nation, which for most of its history has been them trying to destroy it.

PS: A cousin of mine won a CMH in WWII. No bases named after him.

Yep, it’s Ft Hood and it needs to go back to it original name and not the woke name.

“The legislation directed Pentagon officials to strip Confederate names from all “assets of the Department of Defense.””

Trump needs to remove this law while he has the Congess.

Fort Hood it is. Build another base and name it for the Mexican.

All part of the “reconquista” movement.

I drove by Fort Polk in Louisiana last month and it was called Fort Johnson.

“The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is trying to get in front of such a move.”

OH BULLCRAP. This is show boating. Fort Cavazos was never under threat of being renamed.

"Fort Hood it is. Build another base and name it for the Mexican."

There's been talk of needing a new base near the border for deportees. Let's do it!

The Fort Cavazos Detainment And Deportation Base

How about asking those who gave blood, sweat and tears to the US by training and serving at this base before listening to some goofy politician’s woke wet dream. Many soldiers spent a couple of years at Fort Hood before deployment to dangerous parts of the world! I was one of them. I would want the base to continue to be Fort Hood.......

Cavazos was a great guy. Fort Hood has a long history and deserves it’s historic name. A lot of men went there and did great things, and men died after last being there.

The great cultural revolution needs to be reversed.

I was an Air Liaison Officer on Ft Hood for a couple of years. It will always be Ft Hood to me too.

Funny how the people who wanted everything renamed no object to renaming.
