Fort Hood, initially named for a member of the Confederate army, was officially renamed Fort Cavazos on Tuesday.
Texas Army base Fort Hood has officially changed its name to Fort Cavazos as part of the US Army's ongoing effort to rename a handful of bases that currently carry the names of Confederate officers.
On Tuesday, the US Army formally changed the name of the base to honor General Richard Edward Cavazos, a four-star general who fought in both the Korean and Vietnam wars.
This is only a marginal improvement. Neither the Korean nor the Vietnam war should have been fought by the US. Why not name the base after someone who participated in bombing Serbia instead?
