Official "Fort Hood" on Facebook seems pretty pleased...

[Missourian]

Just sayin'.

These military installations are steeped in history. They are proud of that history. Forcing them to change their names was ridiculous.

Official Fort Hood on Facebook couldn't wait to tout the replacement of their historic name as again their official name.

They say the redesignation of Hood is now named after a WWI soldier and not the confederate general it was originally named for. Sounds like another sneaky, creepy democrat communist move.

I say anything named after ML King should now be named after Alan King.

It takes a HUGE amount of projection to claim that Fort Hood "couldn't wait to tout" the restoration of the name. This announcement doesn't "tout" anything. If they were "touting" this, it would be "We're proud to announce" or even "We're pleased to announced".

I read this as "The name change back to Fort Hood is under way".

John Edgar Slow Horse, who was a fast horse soldier at HQ and HHC, 1st Cav, is happy with this move.

Fart Hood is more notable as the home of the First Calvary, first in a fight.

I was never in favor of the name changing and the statue removal in the first place.

There have been real issues with civil rights and law enforcement in our country.

Taking down statues and renaming things are merely symbolic gestures.

They do not fix problems.

John Bell Hood was not only a traitor to this country but one of the worst generals of the war

Why Trump would want to name a major military installation in his honor is beyond me

Don’t hide your bigotry.

Look how fast the workers changed it on the video. They all want the name change.

The name changes DO fix problems but not for the white nationalists and racists who cling to Civil War traitors' memories as somehow "heroic" instead of traitorous. That's the real problem. In an effort to make Southern white people feel better about themselves, the rest of the nation had to pretend that Southerners who lead their revolt were somehow "great" and should he honoured for their bravery, instead of reviled for their treason.

White children can't be taught the truth about slavery or the Trail of Tears because they'll feel bad about being white. What kind of idiocy is this? No concern whatsoever is ever shown for how black kids might feel about being consistently portrayed as stupid, inferior, or thugs? NONE.

Why are white people in the USA so incapable of confronting their past and their history? The rest of the world doesn't seem to have that problem. They teach about the Spanish Inquisition in Spain. The Holocaust in Germany. Colonization in Great Britain. Residential Schools in Canada.

You haven't even acknowledged the deaths of residential school victims in the USA, or that such schools even existed.

Heavens forbid. It was active there until the 1990s when it was decommissioned.

Dragonlady, I am not a white nationalist, so step off. I was stationed at Fort Hood with 1st Cav Div, and I am proud of my time and how the JAG took care of its soldiers and their families.

20 percent of the military today is African American

To assign them to military bases named in honor of those who fought to defend slavery is an insult. As t should be for all Americans
