Fort Bonespurs (apologies to arewethereyet. I didn't read the first page).


Can you imagine a US aircraft carrier named after Trump?

The crew can claim hundreds of victories without leaving port.

A US aircraft carrier named trump should be manned by a crew that is all infected by Covid-19.

I've never know the military to be very imaginative.

There’s actually precedent for just using numbers.

Until the reign of Augustus, Roman legions were numbered, not named (with the exception of ‘Gemini’, which meant that particular legion was twinned). Permanent camps for the legions were simply called after the legion, such as ‘the fort of the 3rd legion’, although sometimes the name of the town was added for clarity (marching camps weren’t named at all).

So, US forts could simply be named for the units they are most associated with.

Fort 127th sanitation company.

Black Medal of Honor Recipients.  Maybe name one after Mary Edwards Walker.
