from: Fort Bragg
to: Fort Griffin
Sgt. First Class Jeremy W. Griffin, September 16, 2019, 1st SFG(A)-Combat-K.I.A. or a medal of honor recipient from that base.

This is a sad state of affairs for the Army, capitulating to whining morons, however, if it has to be, then I agree with naming them after MoH recipients.

I am an advid follower of the American Civil War. This topic gets me hot under the collar however i believe at the minimum they should be reviewed. I feel and argument can be made to consider changing a few. Example Ft Benning, he never served the US Army same with John Gordon and Edmund Rucker. Now an argument can be made that Gordon was a US Senator and GA governor thats why the Fort is named after him. Benning on the other hand was a lawyer and Rucker a railroad businessman. All the rest Lee, Hood, Beauregard, Bragg, Hill, Polk, and Pickett all served in the US Army some with distinction prior to the Civil War. I think u have to take that into consideration when trying to change a name. Now if u want to name after MOH recipient's I am ok with that. I would prefer an MOH recipient fron that era but naming a southern Army base after a Northern MOH recipient may stir the pot a little some folks still hold a grudge. I don't think there is an answer that will make everyone happy here.

Hey here is a great idea.....Let's have a vote on if they should be changed and .........wait for it.....Only Americans who have served in the ARMY (since those are the Forts being setup for changes) are allowed to vote. I think that probably will leave the left out of the vote. Just sayin....
