We Were Soldiers: Effort to rename Benning ‘Fort Moore’ gains steam

Alex Hollings | August 18, 2021

An effort to rename Fort Benning after Lieutenant General Harold (“Hal”) Moore and his wife, Julie Moore, has been picking up steam in recent months as the Department of Defense moves to eliminate Confederate names from U.S. military installations.

A mandate to change the names of installations and other Defense Department assets (including warships and buildings) that were named after prominent Confederate figures was passed into law last year, with a commission to address these changes stood up on January 1st.

Hal Moore was a famed U.S. Army general who served in the Korean and Vietnam wars, and his wife Julie Moore played a vital role in changing the way the U.S. military went about delivering casualty notifications. Now, a website and online petition are helping spread the word on the Fort Moore effort and it’s gained the support of military organizations like Blue Star Families.

@rustynail

Which will no doubt be located in the northeast or the far west of what used to be "America".

Ohhh..  Fort (Hal) Moore.

In this Milley era Woke shit, I figured it was Fort (Michael) Moore

To be perfectly honest, I have always found it a little odd that the U.S. government would have any facilities named after senior commanders or officials in the CSA, including Brig. Gen. Henry L. Benning.  That would be a little bit like France naming its military bases after Hitler, Goering, etc.
