They have renamed 4 bases so far. Fort Bragg is next, and they want to screwup a total of 9 base names while spending 63.5 million to do it.So they renamed Fort Hood, what a shame. That's where I went after basic training in 1970.
Colossal waste of money if you ask me

The bases in question were named after Confederate generals so someone got their panties in a wad over itI wonder what would make them do such a thing

It's pandering to ingratiate the Army to a segment of the population. That's the same thing that was done when the fort was named for John Bell Hood. It's just for different reasons and a different portion of the citizenry now.Im not into all this political correctness stuff either but when Ft Hood was named it was a different time in this country
The person Ft Hood is now named for is a 4 star general who is a decorated hero.
Army's first Hispanic four-star general dies at 88
And why than change the names of these forts nowIt wasn't black folks, it's a new government department called The Naming Commision. Their task is to rename or delete any Confederate links to current places or things

DOD to change names of nine Army installations by 2024.
The minority telling the majority what to do and the majority caving.I wonder what would make them do such a thing
It's called pandering, woke and erasing history. And in the Democrat's case, it's the smart thing to do. If the past is erased nobody will remember who fought the hardest up until the 1960's to keep a certain race under their thumb. Here is a list of more buildings to be renamed if they haven't already. Take a note that these buildings were named after politicians who didn't want the black man in their societyAnd why than change the names of these forts now
You mean to tell me black citizens of this country who can actually trace their ancestors back to the time they were enslaved were fine with naming federal installations with the very people who fought to keep them slaves?
I beg to differ and a suggestion would be to talk to some black folks whose great great grandparents were slaves bought and sold
Twenty or so years ago I discussed this very subject with a black man I knew whose grand mother who lived to over 100 was raised around family who were slaves
This is all about bigotry nothing more
Yes in the past we all know what political party the people who hung, beat, denied rights to black people belonged to, we also know what party the people who spread bigotry, who support Nazi wannabes belong to nowIt's called pandering, woke and erasing history. And in the Democrat's case, it's the smart thing to do. If the past is erased nobody will remember who fought the hardest up until the 1960's to keep a certain race under their thumb.
