What suggestions do you have for renaming DoD installations honoring Confederate officers?

Change the name of Fort Benning to] Fort Barry (first commissioned officer in US Navy - Commodore Barry).1) It would be a great boost for cross service relations 2) It also starts with a "B", and 3) Its was my birthplace in 1939, lol.

Fort Stalin and Fort Mao will take time, due to the clumsy word association they create, but Fort Lenin works well.


I think boot camp bases should be renamed Big Brother's Boot Camp,

Fort Bragg > Fort Kabul

Fort Polk > Fort Ho Chi Minh (due to Polk's reputation for the stifling humidity)

Fort Bragg - Bennie Adkins. Army Sergeant First Class, receive the Medal of Honor March 9, 1966
Fort Rucker - Dr. Mary Walker. The only woman to ever receive the Medal of Honor. November 1865
Fort Benning - Ty Carter. Army Specialist, receive the Medal of Honor October 3, 2009
Fort Gordon - Florent Groberg. Army Captain receive the Medal of Honor August 8, 2012
Fort Hood - Gary Ivan Gordon. Army Master sergeant receive the Medal of Honor October 3, 1993
Fort Polk - Lewis Albanese. Army Private First Class, receive the Medal of Honor December 1, 1966
Fort A.P. Hill - Ross A. McGinnis. Army Specialist receive the Medal of Honor December 4, 2006
Fort Belvoir - Thomas Payne. Army Sergeant First Class receive the Medal of Honor October 22, 2015
Fort Lee - William E. Adams. Army Major, receive the Medal of Honor May 25, 1971
Fort Pickett - Randall David Shughart. Army Sergeant first class receive the Medal of Honor October 3, 1993

'Fort Trump', Posts 1-10

I would remove the "Fort" from the name as they really are not Forts and give them a name that corresponds to the state and training.
Fort Bragg could become North Carolina Pain Endurance.
Fort Hood could become Texas Commode of the Continent.
This is how I remember them.

Randomly pick a recipient of the MOH from WW2 or after for each one. Prior to that a lot of MOH’s were politically issued.

I'll give it a try. In no particular order:

Fort (Clara) Barton-Founder of the American Red Cross

Fort (Mary Ann) Bickerdyke-US Sanitary Commission and made Union generals pay attention

Fort (Juliet Gordon) Lowe-Founder of the Girl Scouts, born in Savannah

Fort (Mary Edwards) Walker-US Army Surgeon, Union Army

Fort (Harriet) Tubman-Union spy, underground railroad conductor

Fort (Sharon Ann) Lane-1LT, Army Nurse Corps, KIA Chu Lai, 1969

Fort (Dan) Bullock-Okay, he was a Marine but he was the youngest KIA (15 years old) in Vietnam, and African American

Fort (Oveta Culp) Hobby-First Director of the Women's Auxillary Army Corps (1942)

Fort (Frances) Stanger-LT, Army Nurse Corps, KIA. 1944. One of 4 ANC officers to come ashore on D-Day and ONLY ANC officer to die in the European Theater

Fort (Frances Olive) Chesley-2LT, Army Nurse Corps-KIA (Kamikaze attack) while assigned to the USS Comfort. Okinawa, April, 1945

Fort (Ashley) White-LT, Medical Service Corps. KIA, Kandahar Province, 2011

How did I do?

Fort Bragg= Fort Joe Biden
Fort Rucker= Fort Lloyd Austin
Fort Benning= Fort Harvey Milk
Fort Gordon = Fort Berghdal
Fort Hood = Fort Pelosi
Fort Polk= everyone hates polk anyway, so it's name can stay

Fort Bragg

Name these installations in honor of Medal of Honor recipients!
