@pbsnews: In the months of unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd, the Pentagon and many in Congress pushed to rename military posts that honored Confederate officers. Now, an independent congressional commission has proposed nine name changes to honor U.S. military heroes and national values. #military #usmilitary #congefederateofficers #militaryheros #nationalvalues #Americamilitary #pbs #newshour #news #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #pentagon #congress #georgefloyd #racialunrest #comission

Hood has a lot more problems than just a rename. There’s something really odd going on at that one base

I say this as a southerner, about damn time. There is no need for any US military building to be named after confederates.

Long overdue! But brace for the GOP firestorm and the interesting way they will defend keeping the old names.

NO ONE voted for "fort liberty" on the survey, and in typical Army fashion they'll ignore it😂

This is excellent - renaming US military bases after patriots instead of traitors. Basic common sense.

The optics look and sound good. It also covers up recent bad publicity. But, there is no substantive change. 😕
