Some politicians seek to appease rioters by renaming U.S. Army Forts after the race that rioted most recently. Ft. Hood was named for the one-armed Confederate General who lost the battle of Atlanta and fled toward Charleston, S.C. with Sherman in hot pursuit. Hood was a tough guy though not a professional soldier at all- he had replaced the ineffective General Bragg who was relieved from those concluding defensive battles on the S.W. front. I have a few suggestions for more suitable names for those two forts.
The
preferred alternative for Ft. Hood is Ft. Benavidez. The S.W. is becoming
largely Hispanic and naming a fort for the excellent soldier awarded a medal of
honor would be inspirational for many enlistees who would admire the former Green
Beret with one of the more glorious records that is second to none. There are
more possibilities for the tanker base such as Ft. George Patton, Ft.
Crazy-Horse, Ft. Taxes and Fort Tubman.
Renaming
a fort is tough business. It is like making a choice of running mate that
former Vice President Joe Biden is facing. So let’s consider Ft. Bragg’s
possible new names carefully.
Ft.
Eisenhower works best in my opinion. Honorable mentions go to Ft. Bobby
Fischer, Ft. Bowie, Ft. Fitness, Fort Armstrong and Fort Pac-man.
Keeping
U.S. military facilities named for those white men of the confederacy defending
human slavery is bad P.R. for white men. As a minority on the planet white men
don’t need to shoot themselves in the foot voter speaking, associating
themselves with symbols of oppression and inhumanity.
If
white men are to have a good place in the future national and world societies
amid a majority of non-whites on Earth they need to be the best examples
themselves of the philosophy of the founders. That is, equal justice, equal
rights, an egalitarian distribution of wealth, freedom from tyranny and today,
a recovering world ecosphere should to be regarded by the people of the world
as good works of white American men that benefit everyone. Strong national
border security for a secure electorate can only exist with strong popular
support from all of a nation’s citizens that recognize their own valuable
personal interests and those of the ecosphere being reinforced by a stable
population with secure borders.
If
white men choose to be known as slick capitalist oppressors without true
allegiance to national borders and ideals or respect for the citizens of the
nation so much as viewing them as utilitarian objects for exploitable labor it
is likely their interests will decline amid a restive populous. Since 10% of
Americans will soon own 90% of the national income white men of the 90% would
be rather daft chumps as well. White men instead should be known for
personifying the best democrat ideals of all human beings (that does not mean
the most libertine or decadent). While
all men and women should have the ideals of the founders in their hearts
regardless of race, it is evident that the retardant failure of an advantaged
class of white men with regressive social views are particularly harmful to
their own race that aren’t in the 10% or 1%.
Changing
the names of a couple of forts given confederate labels that have outlived
their usefulness should be a trivial matter for President Trump. Democrat party
opposition will attack the President with vague demands of allegiance on voters
for support of marginally productive policies the President disdains such as
environmentalism. President Trump doesn’t want to alienate select southern
voters, yet the number of confederate racist cranks are far fewer than
independents that support equal justice across the south.
