As part of the FY 2021 NDAA, there are 10 U.S. Army posts, currently named after men who were Confederate generals during the Civil War, which are required to be renamed by the end of 2023.
The posts being renamed are:
Camp Beauregard, LA
Fort Polk, LA
Fort Benning, GA
Fort Gordon, GA
Fort Bragg, NC
Fort A.P. Hill, VA
Fort Lee, VA
Fort Pickett, VA
Fort Rucker, AL
Fort Hood, TX
This post is not to debate the merits of whether or not they should be renamed (it's happening). I'm curious as to what you think the specific posts should be renamed and why?

How about generals, other officers and such who took part in the WW2 struggle against totalitarian fascism and the Cold War struggle against totalitarian Communism?

Why waste money renaming posts just to make elitist progressives feel better?

Forts Crybaby, Snowflake, Milksop, Wimpy, Lightloafers, and Inguina come to mind. Sadly, we just might see some of these. My Christ, these posts were named after men of accomplishment. Renaming them won't erase history, no matter how much the snowflakes, milksops or crybabies try.

I would rename the posts after servicemembers born or resided within the state prior to their death who were awarded Distinguished Service Cross or above.

How about not trying to change history. It is what it is whether good ,bad or indifferent. Changing names is not going to change history. I get some people are offended but if I changed everything that offended me who knows where the hell I would be.
