Yes, time to get the popcorn
The Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday voted to require the Pentagon to rename military bases and other assets named after Confederate generals, a move that puts the Republican-led panel on a collision course with the White House.

I wonder if West Virginia will follow everyone’s lead and remove the name of the racist Klansman, Robert Byrd?

Too bad, it’s a shame we bases named after losers.
Should New Jersey change it’s name then?
We did kick their ass during the Revolutionary War.
They’re losers too, right?
a group of texas vets want to rename fort hood for Special Forces Master Sgt. Roy Benavidez.
a true hero and medal of honor winner
wounded by a landmine and told he’d never walk again.
not only did he walk again he joined the special forces
a few years later he rescued his 12 man team when they were pinned down.
Despite being wounded in the face, head, and right leg, Benavidez dragged wounded team members onto a helicopter. He was then wounded in the back and abdomen.
the chopped then crashed.
he rescued the wounded men again and called in airstrikes to push the enemy back
an enemy soldier attacked him and stabbed him in both arms before he killed him with his knife
by the time he got back to base he was assumed dead and was being zipped into a body bag when he spit to show he was alive.
he was awarded the medal of honor and passed away in 1998.
and unlike hood who was never even in texas and was a traitor benavidez was a native texan.

He spoke at my graduation.
Let me guess, are we going to rename cities and counties next? Lee County? Hood County? Lubbock county? Reagan County? Stonewall County? Stephens county? Upton? Wise? Reeves?

That is a city and state issue. You can rename a city if the folks who live there vote for it. Nothing to do with the Federal Government.

Amazing guy. Thanks for the link.
I just think it’s silly to start renaming bases.
It has bugged me for ages. I have mentioned it here multiple times and for years on the prior board.
It doesn’t make sense. Military bases/forts get name changes all the time as their mission changes and the size is reduced or enlarged.

Sure, why not. New Jersey sucks, renaming it might not hurt.
What should we do about New England?
