Some woman veteran who happens to have the last name Hegseth should just start issuing orders as Secretary of Defense.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continued his efforts to revive the Confederate names of military bases, announcing on Monday that he is re-renaming Fort Moore, whose previous name honored the confederate general Henry Benning.

The base, which is in Georgia, will again be called Fort Benning.

Like Hegseth, the confederates also did not support the Constitution.

Reverting military base names to honor traitors will surely lower the price of groceries, homes, apartments, healthcare insurance, automobiles, etc.

Funny thing is, the Confederate nostalgists hate the idea. The name may be the same but they know it's not THEIR military icons getting the credit.

Perhaps Fort Cavazos will be revert to the name "Fort Hood" but instead of honoring a Confederate general, it will be an homage to Klansmen.

Minitrue hasn't created a Wikipedia article for Fred Benning yet.

They're scouring service records for a 'Private Putin' who did anything of note

Does he have actual job duties? Finding things to rename is important right now?

It’s so pathetic. A racist and a coward. He doesn’t have the balls to change the names back to Confederates. We should have known they were the weakest, vainest, stupidest men on the planet when they started shouting about how superior they are. Waving that I’M INADEQUATE!!!” flag.
