I could care less at this point. All I consider is the cost of changing all the signs, changing addresses for soldiers living on post, etc.
What it comes down to for me is this- some people are talking about “history” and “fond memories” and the “meaning” behind the names.
I believe it was the Press Secretary who referenced KIA soldiers who left those posts and that was the last time they were in America...
Fuck all that. The memories I have are my friends. I’m committed to the Army, not a single post.
Frankly, Fort Benning blows. I have plenty of meaningful but miserable memories there. So call it what you want. I’ll always know it as The Land God Forgot. Cole Range isn’t getting renamed,Camp Rogers is still out there, all the misery and history of those places is still there.
Most of us have been to Polk at some point, right? Who cares what it’s called. JRTC is going to still be a rape of the soul. Who cares what we call it.
Let’s leave the “lost cause” narrative, stop celebrating the confederacy and just call it something else. I’m tired of this conversation.
