A blue-ribbon commission has recommended new names for nine Army bases named after Confederate leaders, including Fort Bragg, which will be recommended to be renamed Fort Liberty, the panel disclosed Tuesday.
The panel has recommended that another eight Army bases be renamed for a diverse group of individuals with ties to the Army.
ABC News was first to report the full list of recommended names by the Congressional Naming Commission created by Congress to suggest name changes by 2023 for U.S. military installations named after Confederate generals and leaders.
While Fort Bragg is the only base suggested as being renamed after a concept the other suggestions for the other eight Army bases include a diverse group of individuals with ties to Army history.
If approved, the nine bases will include the first to be ever named for women or African Americans, a National Guard facility in Puerto Rico already had the distinction of being the first ever named for a Latino.
The other bases to be renamed are Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Rucker in Alabama, Fort Polk in Louisiana, Fort Benning and Fort Gordon in Georgia and Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Lee and Fort Pickett in Virginia.
The panel has recommended that Fort Hood, Texas, be renamed after Richard E. Cavazos, the first Latino to reach the rank of a four-star general in the Army.
Fort Gordon, Georgia, will be renamed after Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Army general who led all allied forces in Europe during World War II and later became president.
Fort Lee, Virginia, will be named after two individuals: Arthur Gregg, a former three-star general involved in logistics — the only living individual for whom a base will be named — and Charity Adams, the first African-American woman to be an officer in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps.
Good Lord.
I ask again, if you’re still in the U.S. military, why?

While the DOD/Pentagon engages in woke nonsense, nations like Russia, China and Iran work hard to prepare seriously for war. And well they should, since there is no more serious or consequential human endeavor than war. Well, I suppose since we can’t plan on besting our enemies the old-fashioned way on the battlefield anymore, maybe we can hope they’ll laugh themselves to death.
The great Eric Hoffer once said that all great movements begin as causes, become businesses and degenerate into rackets. His observation could apply to institutions as well, for we see it illustrated in what a sorry and pathetic racket so much of mil.gov has become in recent years.

The US military isn’t American. Americans in the US military are part of an evil empire that is occupying their nation. If you’re in, get out.

What will this cost the taxpayers ? This move does nothing to improve readiness, training, buy spare parts, or replenish weapons sent to kill Russians.
Its more Obama induced self destruction of Americas military institutions.

“Fort Liberty” — just in time for the national gun grab, eh?
Frankly I’m surprised they didn’t rename it “Ft. Fag.”
