Doesn't matter if you agree with this move or not - it's been directed and it's happening. What are your suggestions for renaming the following bases?

- Fort Bragg
- Fort Rucker
- Fort Benning
- Fort Gordon
- Fort Hood
- Fort Polk
- Fort A.P. Hill
- Fort Belvoir
- Fort Lee
- Fort Pickett

Leave it alone, they’ve been named For so many years and they want to change it due to people sensitivity, well I say if you’re that sensitive, then you shouldn’t be in the service and or since you haven’t served, then you have no say.

For me, I have no idea the reasons for naming these post the way they did. Nor did I give thought to why they all were in the south. The prestige for those post came from the training being conducted, and the units stationed there. Leave it alone.

They still have to use the “real” name because using the replacement name, people don’t know where they are talking about. I have read a couple of articles and had no clue what post they were taking about until I saw (Benning).

Benning has already been designate as far as I know. Going to be Fort Moore from what I have heard after General Hal Moore.
They can name the forts anything they want but to us veterans we will always remember them as they were. Fort Benning will always be Fort Benning to me too much history there to be anything else. Same with all the others I will remember them as they were when I served.

Personally in my opinion it’s long time for a change. I believe the treasonous behavior of those that were involved in trying to over turn our government should have never been glorified. We should have never named anything after that institution of hate. Normally when you lose a conflict. Everything about you, or it is remembered but not magnified. Because, of that time and the people that were involved “DOC” Daughters of the Confederacy We’re they remembered. The confederacy lost the war but they won the outcome. These Military installations should never had been named after confederate Generals so I am welcoming that it’s time for a change to do away with this hateful remembrance of ignorance.

The bases were named for a reason, these people did something that the namer's believed provided a valuable service to the country. None of the bases should have their names changed to satisfy the idiotic culture of the progressive left.

These installations were named by the people who gave up their land to make the bases. The naming was influenced by the DOC. It would have been easier if all the bases were named after their areas like the Navy
