Fort Hood gets new name…

An absolute slap at Texans.  Am surprised they did not name the largest military base in the country for George Floyd, as the criminal was from Texas too.

Fort Hood likely to be renamed for first Hispanic four-star general

 KILLEEN, Texas — Fort Hood likely will be renamed Fort Cavazos after a blue-ribbon commission recommended that the Confederate-named Army base receive a new name along with eight other military bases nationwide. The Naming Commission, which was created by Congress and is responsible for recommending new names or removal of names and symbols that commemorate Confederate figures within the Department of Defense, called for Fort Hood to be named after Gen. Richard Cavazos, a native Texan and the Army’s first Hispanic four-star general.

The Army’s largest active-duty armored post, with about 40,000 soldiers, was named after Gen. John Bell Hood, who led the Confederate Army’s Texas Brigade during the Civil War.

The commission also recommended changing the name of Fort Bragg in North Carolina to Fort Liberty, and Fort Hill in Virginia to Fort Walker — for Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, a prisoner of war and surgeon.

Also betting that when the Army took commandeered the +100,000 acres from Texas landowners there were promises made regarding its management.  And these did not include the woke renaming of the base

And how much money is this virtue signaling PC crap going to cost the taxpayer with all the things that will have to be thrown away and re issued?

Fear not there are other bases to be renamed.

We now need to rename federal courthouses such as the Robert Byrd Courthouse, named after an admitted racist KKK member, don't we?

Just about every #*!+ structure in WV is named after Byrd. I won't hold my breath waiting for those to be renamed.

Quite a few places in WV are named after native son Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Any day now, we'll be "woked" into renaming them, however.

What can possibly go wrong with censoring  history and/or changing the things about that aren't PC enough for you?
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Texas should change the name of "Killeen" to "Ft. Hood".
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

The federal courthouse in Atlanta is named after Richard B. Russell - the Senator who led the filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
