So which Hood has gotten an Good Conduct Medal or something

Anyone know a Lee with a campaign ribbon or two

He cared about Bragg because he thinks the entire army is just SOF operators that should be operating and doing war crimes. He doesn't care about anything else.

He just renamed Moore back to a different random Benning lol

Like next time Democrats take over they should pass a law ordering these bases renamed back and then forbidding their renaming.

Hopefully they come up with a better name than Fort Liberty

The problem was as far as i understand it that Delta and 82nd Airborne coudlnt finish their pissing match over which soldier to rename the base, so the admin foolishly just said fuck it, Liberty it is..

This is when you pick someone with ties to neither or predating both of them. Liberty was a dumb solution.

derrickrowe.bsky.social•3 days ago

That was it exactly.

Yah. They did that to punish the SF and Airborne people for not playing nice.

Easy to find a Lee I would think. The whole thing is almost an insult to the substitute.

Daniel W. Lee won the Medal of Honor in WW2, and he's a southerner.

I can't decide if he'll stop because those two stupid combat arms forts are the only ones he hears anyone really complain about, but if he doesn't, Fort Gregg-Adams has to be next, right? It's named in part after a Black woman and will prove SECDEF thinks about logistics...sometimes.

Light horse Harry Lee?

The medal prolly shows an amputated arm and leg, as well as the words Franklin & Nashville on it?

stbarb.bsky.social•3 days ago

An obscure reference. But I actually laughed out loud.

Well... I love ACW history... Why? 07/1998 me, at #Gettysburg.

oberstwklink.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Re-enactment ofc.

stbarb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nice! Hood is my favorite general of the war, mainly because his story is so crazy that it’s comical.

stbarb.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just keep picturing him sliding sideways off the horse. And the union soldiers leaving in the middle of the night, popping into Hood’s camp to light their pipes. And Hood getting up in the morning expecting to attack - that’s comedy gold.

shitpost thought

name it after Willis Augustus Lee.

snootacamund.bsky.social•3 days ago

They’ll name it after Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood and MAGA won’t blink because they’ll pretend he’s an important mountain in Oregon.
