Legalize the Constitution |
Acting on the advice given by Sigmund in The Lair, I am posting this news here in The Lounge. I added a video to the “We Were Soldiers” thread over there, yesterday and got no response. It was Mel Gibson enthusiastically endorsing the name change; he had a chance to get to know the Moores, and obviously feels the honor was well earned. As I stated in The Lair, “I know there’s a general aversion to renaming military bases because the base honored a Confederate officer. Maybe some consolation can be taken from the fact that Lieut Gen Harold Moore was born in Kentucky, but died in Auburn, Alabama. I understand that the new name also honors the General’s wife, Julia. Stars and Stripes. Army’s Fort Benning is now Fort Moore _______________________________________________________ despite them | ||

I initially thought it was going to be all bad renaming the Posts. There is some expense in doing this that has not been talked about. Renaming Benning and Rucker I think have been good. __________________________ Keep your rotor in the green The aircraft in trim Your time over target short Make it count | |||

$21 million to rename bases. We were told we do not have money for training. _____________ | |||

This precisely. Wokism and nothing but. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Most bases already have nicknames. Fort Lost in the Woods for example. | |||

Fort Useless… "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I'd bet DOD paid big money to a PR firm to come up with the new names. I used to work with a guy who was part of the "Army of One" slogan. That was a huge contract with a ton of people working full time to come up with just that one slogan. | |||

I may have an invalid DD-214, which I got at -WARNING: Hurtful name follows - Fort Lee VA way back in 1971. Will I have to repay my GI Bill? Can I still get buried in the Rock Island National Cemetery? As others have said, ridiculous wokeism and a total waste of money. The Abrams tank is text. Gen Creighton Abrams did not have any LBGTQs on his staff! | |||

Fort Bragg will become Fort Liberty on June 2. After a little digging I came up with a better one IMO, Fort York, after SGT Alvin York of WWI renown. 82nd Division. | |||

| drop and give me 20 pushups |
What is going to happen later on when someone else or some group starts to bring up more "wokeism" because of wanting another name change for whatever reason??????? ........................... drill sgt. | |||
|
For real? |

Hal Moore would want it called Fort Benning. | |||

Plus all their letterhead, promo items, WEB SITE (a biggie), and all the other shit that has the old name on it. When my company changed it's name there is a lot of shit that nobody thinks of until it happens. | |||

There will be no end to it, so long as we keep catering to those who do nothing but complain. Once enough of us regain our backbones and start learning and using "the healing power of NO" and standing up against it all, then we can begin to reclaim sanity. But that's just my opinion. God bless America. | |||

| No, not like Bill Clinton  |
Definitely better than Ft. Ocasio-Cortez | |||

‘Fort Woke’ “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” – George Orwell, 1984 __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||
