It Is A Fact,

that US some Army military bases are named after generals who actually fought against the United States, 

photograph Chris Seward, Associated Press file, apparently this is going to be rectified by a commission, called the Naming Commission, it was tasked with coming up with new names for nine posts: Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Pickett, and Fort Lee. The commission is made up of eight retired officers and historians, the new names are taken from war heroes, except for Fort Bragg, which will be renamed Fort Liberty, and for the first time, Army bases would be named after Black soldiers and women, the panel also is considering new names for two Navy ships: the USS Chancellorsville and USNS Maury. Those and the new names for hundreds of streets, buildings and other assets, will be in the final report, a final report is due to Congress by Oct. 1, and will include the costs of removing and changing the names. Under the law, the secretary of defense is expected to implement the commission's plan no later than Jan. 1, 2024, as it happens I did not see any problems with the old names, but there it is.
