So apparently some Army bases are getting renamed

[Zachowon]

No. I mean the 18th century one that was used during the American Revolution. Vincennes, Indiana was the first Indiana state capital.

For someone claiming to be military intelligence ... you are a complete idiot.

And near every bade built after 1900 has been named after someone.
No one cares about anfort that existed way back when

It depends, sometimes they do but for the most part it’s individuals. The Army can’t exactly name ships after people.



Fort Huachuca disagrees with you, as do Fort Indiantown Gap and (former) Fort Monmouth.

It’s rare but it happens.

Touche, Huachuca is the MI home next to Mead. For diffrent reasons.
But yeah, it is named after the mountains.
Is rare and has always been rare.

Indiantowngap, not an Active duty base last I checked

The Gap is still an active Army base, though, even if it’s primarily ARNG (but does have active duty personnel). My broader point was that yes, it’s rare but it does happen.

Very rare one hasn't been made anytime since. Given the fact the Army doesn't build bases anymore

Are you drunk?

The spelling and logic you used would have made my daughters cringe when they were still learning how to tie their shoes.

We have a few ships

During the Civil War most of the ships were Army river gunboats and not seaworthy in anything but the calmest of bathtubs.

The Navy got 671 warships, many of which - like USS Moniter - weren't seaworthy either.

It's much more common than you might think.

Fort Soqualmie, Washington is where attempts to trace my ancestry end.

My great-great-great grandfather most definitely wasn't a Native American because the two swords which have been handed down have Hirigana carved into them.

You really should. When I'm drunk and stupid I'm still smart enough to know that I should double check whatever stupid thing I just decided to share to at least make sure that I spelled things correctly.
