Defense Secretary Hegseth signaled on his first day at the Pentagon that
the name changes were coming when he referred to Fort Liberty and Fort
Moore by their original names of Fort Bragg and Fort Benning.
After he directed Fort Liberty to be renamed Fort Bragg, Hegseth said, "There's a reason I said Bragg and Benning when I walked into the Pentagon
on Day One. But it's not just Bragg and Benning. There are a lot of other service members that have connections, and we're going to do our best to restore it."
Steve Moore, one of Hal and Julie Moore's sons, wrote an essay in a
military newsletter, the War Horse, after Fort Bragg was renamed,
expressing disappointment about the possibility the Pentagon would restore Fort Benning's name.
"Those who advocate for changing the name to honor a person solely because they happen to be named 'Benning' ignore the values and character of Hal
and Julie Moore as well as their courage, competency, and dedication to the nation and Army families," Steve Moore wrote.
They think that makes them immune from charges of naming it back for
the Confederate general which is really what they're doing.
They'll probably pull the same stunt for a lot of the other bases.
I assume every time a name change happens it involves spending a lot of taxpayer money which they purport to highly value for signage and documentation, both physical and digital. Not to mention the confusion
it causes within the military.
