Renaming Army posts was silly when they did it in 2023, and it's probably silly now. Fort Johnson will be returned to Fort Polk, Along with Lee, Rucker, Gordon, and several others.
Fort Cavasas will go back to being Fort Hood, this time renamed after some WW1 colonel. Okay. I still think that the Army missed a sure bet by not naming it Fort Seguin in the first place.
For those who don't know who Juan Seguin was, he was a true Texas patriot, a military and political leader, and probably the only man to serve both at the Alamo under Travis and at San Jacinto under Houston. They should have named that post Seguin from the beginning.
As for Polk, they could name it Fort Armpit, or Camp Swampy for all I care. I served there a lot in the 80s and 90s and never did like the place.

Naming forts after traitorous losers was a terrible idea. Changing them to random happy words was kind of odd. Also I didn’t know what fort was what and that sucked.
The Trump/ Hegseth idea of finding obscure people with the same names as the traitorous losers and renaming them after the obscure people was a master trolling move.
