#3 Another contrived symbolic act against the white supremacy lie needed for revolutionary inquisition of the Supreme Soviet.
They need a domestic insurrection threat to continue this march towards a workers paradise and by god they are creating it, hard and fast.

#6 Make a list of all former Ft, Hood enlisted winners of the Medal of Honor and have the current enlisted vote for who they want from that list. Or is that too "democratic" when you can have Fort Alcee Hastings decided by a committee?

#7 ^ Phinetch Wherese4624, Buddy you got my vote for the committee (just don't put the vote through the Dominion System)

Just a word about the right hand thing, just tell them you are (word), it'll confuse them, they'll have to look it up, and it'll make you stand out !

Really made me laugh...💪👍👀

#10 And Hunter Biden for a destroyer, since he is a Navy veteran.

#11 Wasn't Hunter some sort of Artic Commando? You know because of all the 'snow' he dealt with...

#12 Here's one that will give them fits, because its not PC but it is honestly the best name for the place: Fort Bragg becomes Fort William C. Lee. For you legs, Gen Bill Lee was the father of the US Army Airborne, and basically created the Airbone from scratch, and even commanded the 101st. He was born and died in North Carolina. All in all, a far better and more impactful man than Bragg. Bragg was by all accounts a shitty Condeferate commander who lost almost all of his battles.

Same thing goes for General Hood, who basically was responsible for the Confederate loss of the west along with Bragg losing Tennessee. Rename Fort Hood to Fort George S. Patton for the Armor.

Benning should be changed to Fort George C. Marshall, who revolutionized how Infantry was trained when he rant the post, and his methods are still the basis. Failing that, one of the greatest infantry commanders in US History, Washington's right hand Gen Nathanial Greene should be the person named for a large infantry installation.

I have no problem clearing out those loser confederate General names and putting real winner US Generals in their place. However, exceptions should be made for exceptional Generals such a Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson who are worthy of historical notice.

Some of the others, though, leave them alone, like Fort Carson ("Kit" Carson), etc.

#13 Indians (not you, dron... though it'd be okay with me)? Worked for helicopters. Chiefs, maybe?

President presiding over base's founding?

Output from random mystery resistory history maker generator? Fort First Furry Antifa Firefighter. Nuff elitism. Honor millions of the forgotten oppressed with each renaming! "First" might be problematic, though. Let's go with a random ordinal from current population of the Americas (or whatever we're calling these liberty lovin' shores these days).
