Name Game: More Than Just Ft. Rucker

 

 A commission has been named to consider changing the confederate names of ten U.S. Army posts, including  Alabama's Ft. Rucker.

But there's more, reports The Washington Post:

"The names of 10 Army posts christened after Confederate officers have been under intense scrutiny following social justice protests last summer. But far from public view, the Army is also grappling with the other ways it lionizes aspects of the Confederacy, which killed and wounded more than 420,000 U.S. troops to protect the institution of slavery."

 

And several of those "other ways" includes "special designations", confederate-related nicknames for National Guard units. At least two Alabama units have such nicknames.
