It used to be part of pre-Constitutional Virginia. After the Revolution - around 1786 before convention to modifiy Articles of Confederation - what did the movers & shakers immediately want to do ('cause they wuz broke)? How about "let's tax the pioneer landowners to pay our war debt, that will drive them into debtor's prison and we can pick up the land on the cheap." East Tennesseean (western VA) pioneers cleaned their muskets and briefly seceded to become the State of Franklin. I like that. Imagine not wantng to be lorded over by oligarchs in Williamsburg.

You know, a Republic….. as in a rule of Law over Government where by the People delegate certain functions to the government but retain “Inalienable Rights”….

Or how about we teach that “Shall Faithfully Execute the laws” means that the executive branch WILL enforce the international boarder and the naturalization laws as passed by the Congress….

Or how about we go with “Shall make No Law” part about how “dis-information” is actually Protected and the Citizens can say ANYTHING they want….

Or then there is my personal favorite phrase… you know… “Shall not be Infringed”….

Yeah… words actually do hurt…. So I could see maybe calling some random “hurtful confederate general” base what ever the hell you want or even use what ever personal pro-nown you want… just use the words that I actually know the definitions of the way they were written!

Fuck this, I’m gonna pour me about 3-fingers of Makers and clean my SPR!

Is Victory Drive, Ft Benning still, "VD Drive" or is is wall to wall starbucks by now?
"VD" has been eliminated.

Its not lined with Starbucks yet. When they raised the drinking age years ago, it killed off the bars, and “other” establishments. When I’m in the area I see few soldiers. Most of the privates seem to frequent north Columbus now.

Was stationed there for three years and I have to say that Liberty just doesn't sound right. Bragg was just shorter and easier. We never said Fort before saying it either. Are any of the other posts being considered going to be named after Generals who fought for the North or who participated in other wars? I can hardly wait for some of the other suggestions.

Fort Geronimo? Fort Chavez? Fort King? How about Fort Fonda?

I personally find the term "Fort" to be triggering, I'd like to see it changed to something like "Immigrant welcome center" or Transitioning safe space" or maybe "Ball-Licker Zone".

None needed I will clear that confusion right now, current crop of progressives can go F@*! themselves hence the need for some lube, Preferably petroleum base so they realize oil is good for some things.

Agreed, we really are down the rabbit hole.
