Commission Announces New Names for 9 Army Bases that Were Named After Confederate Generals

The Pentagon’s independent commission has released what the names of Army bases named after Confederate generals will now be:

New names recommended for nine Army posts that honor Confederate generals were made public Tuesday, May 24, 2022, by an independent commission assigned to make the selections. The bases are Fort Polk in Louisiana, Fort Benning and Fort Gordon in Georgia, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Lee and Fort Pickett in Virginia, Fort Rucker in Alabama, and Fort Hood in Texas. Officials have said they would not recommend a name change for Camp Beauregard in Louisiana, which was also named for a Confederate general, because it is owned by that state’s National Guard. (Library of Congress)

The Army will now have bases named after women and African Americans if Congress and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approve the recommendations offered Tuesday by an independent commission assigned to make the selections. 

Congress mandated last year that an appointed Naming Commission come up with potential new names for nine Army installations that now honor Confederate generals from the Civil War. 

The nine bases are all in former Confederate states and were named during the 1910s and 1940s amid the South’s Jim Crow era.

Stars & Stripes

Here is what the new names are:

— Fort Bragg, N.C., to Fort Liberty

— Fort Polk, La., to Fort Johnson after Sgt. William Henry Johnson

— Fort Benning, Ga., to Fort Moore for Lt. Gen. Hal and Julia Moore

— Fort Gordon, Ga., to Fort Eisenhower for former President Dwight Eisenhower

— Fort A.P. Hill, Va., to Fort Walker after Dr. Mary Walker

— Fort Hood, Texas, to Fort Cavazos after Gen. Richard Cavazos

— Fort Pickett, Va., to Fort Barfoot for Tech. Sgt. Van T. Barfoot

— Fort Rucker, Ala., to Fort Novosel after Chief Warrant Officer 4 Michael J. Novosel, Sr

— Fort Lee, Va., to Fort Gregg-Adams after Lt. Gen. Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col. Charity Adams

It will definitely take some time to get used to these new names, but after a decade most people will likely forget what the old names were. My favorites on this list are probably Fort Moore and Fort Eisenhower. Both are definitely worthy of a base named after them. Fort Johnson is another good one because any other military hero is better than having a base named after Polk who was an extremely poor leader during the Civil War.

Doesn’t matter to me how the bases are named; but I agree that those who took up arms against the US Government ought never to be honored–in spite of courage in service before and during “The War of Northern Aggression” (as they might have called it).

Same with members of all groups who dishonor the flag or the Constitution.

I mean, you’d never expect to see a “Mao Tse-tung Navy Base” in Taiwan, a “Joe Stalin AB” in modern Russia or a “Camp Kim Il Sung” in South Korea. Maybe over a toilet (as in “flush twice it’s a long way to…”; but not over the whole facility.

But how did they forget the “Leeroy Jenkins School of Foreign Policy”?

setnaffa, do you believe that blacks should remain as slaves? Do you have a black servant? What is your view on race?

Wow. How little you know of me. Or America.

I am not a Democrat. I may have, when I was much younger, wanted the Swedish Bikini Team as slaves; but that’s probably different than your fantasy. And when you get older, you may learn that slavery is a bad thing.

Texas is not Xinjiang. Americans are as diverse as any population anywhere.

And while we are not mashed into fake oneness like that Han pomegranate seeds propaganda, we get along fine when left to ourselves.

You should try to visit America sometime. Especially places NOT controlled by racists like yourself or Democrats. I’d recommend you visit Coeur D’Alene, Idaho when the eagles are passing through. You might enjoy the Tulip Festival in Pella, Iowa. And there are hundreds of small towns in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York that still have 4th of July Parades and Fireman’s Field Days where you can meet new people who don’t care about your past or who your grandparents were.

I won’t even get started on the different styles of barbeque cooking, across the USA.

But, your small-minded, pathetically predictable script demands that you deflect, project, defame, and change the subject. So you will miss out on meeting wonderful people and making lifelong friends from every suntan, gender, ethnicity, and more.

I really pity you.

CH, as I see it, is being strictly Biblical.

Proverbs 26:4-5, Easy-to-Read Version
4-5 There is no good way to answer fools when they say something stupid. If you answer them, then you, too, will look like a fool. If you don’t answer them, they will think they are smart.

And, technically speaking, my flag says “Come and take it”…

My *country’s* flag has a somewhat different pattern of stars and stripes than the odd example provided by an ignorant waygook; and since our trolls used to say I was a Russian, they still got it way wrong as the Rooskie banner has no stars or crosses.

It’s like I said. CCP trolls are only allowed to deflect, project, defame, and change the subject.

And I still pity them. Because spending an eternity in Hell when God’s salvation through Jesus Christ is free to all who believe is needless.

Good news for setnaffa. The Korean research team has a new breakthrough cancer treatment that could treat and cure his cancer in the head.

That is great news. Of course, I’m 5 years cancer-free, so by great news, I mean KM is still showing his CCP bonafides: deflect, project, defame, and change the subject.

Don’t worry about my health. There are 25 Millions in Shanghai who need food and freedom right now.

I am not making fun of the message, just the messenger.

And yet, if he were to repent and be baptized, I’d invite him to a nice Baptist Church. Maybe like the one in Suwon?

So I overheard some pasty sniveling non-America say “Heh yeah like now they are going to take your guns.”

I gently asked exactly who was going to take those guns.

Would it be the police with their ballistic vests that were so worried they would get shot at by a teenage tranny that they cowered for an hour listening to children get murdered?

Perhaps a military so worthless they spent a trillion dollars and 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban?

In fact, based on recent history, if the military showed up to take guns from law-abiding citizens, there is a reasonable chance the entire encounter would resolve with the citizens being better armed.

This isn’t to say there couldn’t be sporadic success in government trying to take guns… as police would suddenly demonstrate the same level of enthusiasm and competence as they have when giving a speeding ticket and the military would approach it with the same energy they put into diversity awareness training.

But that would only last until the first redneck took out a handful of bullies looking for trouble where there was none until they showed up.

Everything is broken in America… seemingly by design.

Let’s see what happens.

deflect, project, defame, and change the subject.

Let’s see

Deflect

This is something setnaffa and the members of his church frequently are known to do. Last year when there was heated debate about the vaccines, setnaffa and the members of his church when confronted with facts would try to avoid accepting those facts by throwing everything but the kitchen sink or trying very hard to sink those facts or posting links to fake news sites that in their mind would make it look like those facts are unacceptable.

Project

It’s obvious that setnaffa and the members of his church try to project what they believe to be true to others by posting links to right wing fake news sites.

Defame

Setnaffa and  the members of his church are well known for attacking and defaming those who do not agree with their idealogy by calling them ‘Chinese’ or ‘leftists’ and such.

Change the Subject

When confronted, setnaffa would bring up God and Jesus as an attempt to change the subject.

As setnaffa and the members of his church carry out the above actions then it can be assumed that they are acting on behalf of the CCP.

Nor surprising considering that the CCP are probably funding and supporting setnaffa and the Church of Setnaffarism™ as part of their plan to divide and weaken America by formenting the Second American Civil War and make conditions ripe for their planned invasion of Taiwan.

Also, let’s not forget the Russians who are also probably involved in this plot with their PRC allies.

And let’s not forget Articles 1, 2, and 6 of the Articles of Setnaffarism™ which helps explain the whole thing

Article 1

The only truth is the world that exists only in the world of Setnaffarism™. Everything else is not true, and should not be believed.

 
Article 2

Should others present facts that do not fit with the world that exists only in the world of Setnaffarism™ fight vigorously against it. For if the others look over the facts and find them to be true, it will show that the world that exists only in in the world of Setnaffarism™ is not true.

If necessary, call those who present the facts, “leftists”, if this helps to discredit them.

Article 6

The true leader of the right wing Americans is Vladimir Putin himself. He will herald a new era for us by turning America into the perfect world for us.

Do what is needed to ensure that Putin becomes the leader of Right-Wing America.

 Even if it means committing high treason against the United States

Fortunately, there is no more heated debate about the vaccines.

The science is settled.

They don’t work.

In August and December, we will see if they do something less than don’t work.

Don’t forget your booster(s).

KM must need more vitamins. Being welded into his shipping container in Wuhan must have caused him to forget all his old rhetoric.

Or did the original die and the replacement not get briefed?

Pitiful.

Well actually I think you are bunch of poorly educated Southern Whites with low brain power who are prone to fake news, right wing conspiracies and possibly Chinese and Russian influence.

As for the Russian bot thing, that was in response to calling the Koreans of the ROK Drop, Chinese bots, just because we didn’t agree with your illogical views on Korea among othe things. And if I remember correctly you didn’t take the Russian bot thing that well.

If I also remember correctly, you also did a bit of flailing yourself by going from Chinese bots to Captain Ahab to White California Democrat to welded Chinese.

Me? I’ve been consistent in my thinking all along.

I also can’t help but notice deflection, projection, defamation, and changing of the subject on your part now, which according to you makes you a CCP agent.

But of course knowing your tendencies I don’t think the CCP would have contacted you directly.

They could have used a white face for their dealings with you by enlisting help from their Russian allies and using the Russians as a front.

That’s probably why you do not realize that you are a pawn of the Chinese because all you are seeing is a White Russian face.

Of course we all know that the Chinese and Russians are united in their single goal of weakening America.

Hope your limited brain power can process all that.

Yer mom is a pawn of the Chinese and Russians while she is looking over her shoulder at my white face.

I don’t usually pound fat ugly chick’s but I do when I am thinking of you.

Dont forget your 2nd booster of “two shots and back to normal”

It is “98% effective” and will stop you from catching covid or keep you out of the hospital or keep you from dying or make sure you don’t go to hell if you do… or whatever today’s promise is.

Now, with no excuses or misdirection, tell me why the vaccine that does nothing is not a failure.

I’m gonna go back to the topic; the name calling is actually boring to read. I’m okay with changing the names of the posts agreeing with others than the reason they were named for military leaders in the South is a century behind us, honestly there a few other locations that should be renamed as well but that is another topic altogether. I’m not in agreement with all of them, as these will be visited again in 100 years with people saying “WTH were they thinking?” Named posts for deceased soldiers who showed exceptional courage under fire, check, naming a post for a desired ideal, check, naming a post for a couragous leader and his wife because she founded a support group that is now a clique, half check, naming a post for two people, one of whom I am given to understand is living, no. Pick one or the other preferably the dead one and move on. It sounds as if this committee made their decision and the handed to the good idea fairy who returned with “make it more woke, oh and don’t name one of them for a person but an ideal” Yeah, I’m not politically correct but then again that wasn’t asked of me when I swore my oath; and now I can write what I think without wondering if my commander also reads this site
