Changing the name of Fort Rucker?

      Rucker is one of the ten bases with confederate connected names. Now CBS is reporting a pentagon panel will visit each in the Summer or Fall to consider the proposal to change the names:

 

"Commission members will meet with commanders and hear input from the communities at each of the sites, according to the chair or the commission, retired Admiral Michelle Howard.

"We need an opportunity to meet with local civic leaders, as well as, for example, have discussions with elected leaders, and we'll use the base commanders who generals have strong ties with the community to help set up conversations between us and those who have interests," Howard said."

 

Will they talk it to death? Why not just do the right thing?
