To be fair, Fort Liberty is a shit name. Let’s name it Fort Shugart-Gordon. They’re the two Delta Force operators who gave their lives trying to protect a downed Blackhawk pilot in Mogadishu.
Fort Liberty is where SFOD-D trains and lives. I’m willing to bet it would mean a lot more to them than some nebulous concept.
Let’s name it Fort Shugart-Gordon.
Sold, let’s do it.
I’ve talked with military members about fort and base renaming. The names are significant because they are named after (mostly generals) service members who are strongly associated with a set of tactics or strategies that the base specializes in.
So instead of fort Green beret you’d have fort “founding father of Green beret” or fort “I trailblazed the green beret playbook”
I still think we need to rename the Confederate name ones because fuck the traitors, but adhering to that naming scheme is important for the armed services.
We also name stuff for heroes. But yeah that’s why Fort Benning turned into Fort Moore. He’s the guy who was leading the first Air Assaults in Vietnam. But the new names are a little more loose than previous rounds of naming things. Cavazos was not famous for any tactics or strategies. He was the first Hispanic 4 star general.
Since we’re finally going a little more common sense, and the alternative is Fort Liberty, I think we can find room for a couple more heroes that embody everything we want our enlisted members to be.
The Donald J Trump Memorial Shithouse is all he deserves. The toilet seat can be a picture of his face and big fucking mouth.
Cowardly ass San Franciscans!
the random single toilet bathroom that’s got one of those pull-on-pull off hanging lighbulbs and exposed plumbing, a sink that’s cracked enough to not be useful, and the entire space generally hasn’t seen custodial attention in forever because like 3 people on the staff know about it.
that room should be his memorial.
Throw on some peeling gold paint on the toilet and plumbing and call it good.
Spray on gold rustoleum?
I like the way you think.
What is the strategy here? Other than another armed coup attempt?
Appealing to racists.
Obviously. What I’m getting at is that he already has the racist vote. He doesn’t need to appeal to them. So what does this action gain him?
There’s appealing to racists, and there’s getting them revved up enough to charge into gunfire for you.
They’re aiming for the latter.
Nothing. He’s banking his win on core supporters only, hoping Harris fumbles in the days leading up, and planning another coup. He’s just detailing the culture war stuff.
