I'm just astonished by the fraudulent things they are identifying as requirements to justify the costs; e.g. replacing business cards...ummm...really, they're joking right? But I do find the recommended names and the history behind them very interesting.
— Fort Bragg, N.C., to Fort Liberty
— Fort Polk, La., to Fort Johnson
— Fort Benning, Ga., to Fort Moore
— Fort Gordon, Ga., to Fort Eisenhower
— Fort A.P. Hill, Va., to Fort Walker
— Fort Hood, Texas, to Fort Cavazos
— Fort Pickett, Va., to Fort Barfoot
— Fort Rucker, Ala., to Fort Novosel

MAJ James Woods they haven't asked me... but we can't change history... nor should
we. People will continue to call them by the name when they were there. Thanks for sharing.

Well, many from Chicago like myself still call it Sears Tower and not Willis Tower; however, I'm against celebrating or recognizing historical traitors that divided the nation and led to so much American deaths. Then again, wasn't like the US government at the time was in a hurry to end slavery through legislative means either. There's recognizing the individuals on the wrong side of history and there's celebrating them as if they are heroes and patriots.

SGT (Join to see) - How does renaming bases "change history?" It doesn't change the history of anything. Bases have been renamed before.
