    There are many military installations which played a crucial role in the development of this nation. Streets? Not so much.

    Your view is inexplicable.
    What's next. Change the Alamo to the Santa Anna?

    Their historical significance comes from the men and units that made history training at and deploying from those Forts. The 82nd ABN is perhaps the most famous infantry division on earth. And SF, well their history is legend too.

    To bend the knee to anti-American hard left radicals is a slap in the face to those who served at those Forts and those who died in combat from those Forts.

    So, is it the name of the base that is important, or the base itself?
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    The name is associated with the base.

    I would agree that civilians likely don't understand.

    You mean like they should have been charged as the domestic terrorists/traitors they were?

    Well, at least now people are #woke.
