I would rename bases after Mortal Kombat characters. Fort Drum would be Fort Sub-Zero. Fort Benning could be Fort Johnny Cage because you should be hit in the balls for going to basic there.

So I am working on my plague doctor costume for Halloween and now I am wondering how I could score some empty boxes of Ivermectin without having to buy them. Of course if I found some I could probably flip it and make a profit... Maybe these guys (plague doctors) are on to something...

gently caress Patton, if you want a Cav general name it after John Buford, who laid the initial groundwork for Meade at Gettysburg.

I didn't realize it until now, but the traitors ended up winning in the end didn't they.

When people say pulling down statues "erases history," here is the history they are trying to keep alive and happy:

In 1874 an all-white paramilitary force kicked out the elected Governor of Louisiana. They defeated local militia and cops (led by Longstreet of all people), successfully occupying the government buildings. They did not withdraw until President Grant sent federal troops to the city, led by a French immigrant who had become a naturalized US citizen. Zero insurgents were tried for this insurrection. Feds occupied the area for a couple years.

In 1891, the City of New Orleans, at this point controlled by allies of the White League and white supremacists, formally erected the Battle of Liberty Place Monument (aka Battle of Canal Street) to commemorate the uprising.

In 1932, the city decided to be less subtle about it and added this inscription:

"McEnery and Penn having been elected governor and lieutenant-governor by the white people, were duly installed by this overthrow of carpetbag government, ousting the usurpers, Governor Kellogg (white) and Lieutenant-Governor Antoine (colored). United States troops took over the state government and reinstated the usurpers but the national election of November 1876 recognized white supremacy in the South and gave us our state."

Though I know forts are generally not named after civilian or political leaders, if I’m not mistaken.

Go buy some toothpaste (it's not like it will go bad) and print new labels for the boxes. Source images will be easy to find and you can create your own "drug fact sheet" for the back. Just be careful how you adhere it if you use lovely ink or paper.

I'll throw Smedley Butler's name in the ring for base renaming.

Yeah, I agree with your sentiment, maybe not your delivery, but it is a valid point. I doubt Smedley would want a base named after him.

I'm all about Benning>Sherman, and I would love if Bragg was made Ft Robert Smalls, but I don't have enough recommendations to cover all the traitor bases due to never giving a gently caress about any General.
