The only one on that list I can stomach (but still don't like it) is Ft Benning. At least Hal Moore was a Southern man AND a hell of a soldier with ties to Benning. But it should be left the F alone damnit. I'm sick to death of this ****..

Only the wokest soldiers will be selected for special diversity training at Fort Gender Queer.

I don't want Fort Gordon renamed it's my birth place when it was called Camp Gordon (1954). My Grandfather was stationed there (1916-1918) also my Father was stationed there (1953-1956) and I was stationed there (1975-1978) I even worked at the same Hospital I was born in. I don't want to have to change it's name leave it alone. The people who want to change these places probably never served there and have have no history with these p!aces. Leave my history alone!!!!!! Just my pluged nickels worth...

A name won't change your past...playing hide and seek with names pretending it never happened will surely make it...happen again
