The Trump Presidency 2.0

The whole Benning/Moore/Benning thing is a bit of a debacle. Father of the US Army Infantry is Baron von Steuben. Father of the US Army Airborne forces is William C Lee. Like if we're going to go through the BS a second time, can we at least make sense instead of wasting money? Because the amount of signs is at least going to cost the Army 1M if not more to change to Bragg and Benning.

While I agree, lack of domestic semiconductors really screwed over the whole North America supply chain during the pandemic. I don't think this means you won't buy from them but you need a domestic supply.

Here's the announcement.

Texas Instruments are building a chip plant in in North Texas (Sherman area), Taiwan is also building a chip plant in the same area, both are going to be huge!

100% this. They got Bragg back as a "own the libs" thing because it's easy to argue Liberty is a shitty name.

This just feels like the SECDEF wants it back to Benning because that's what it was when he was there, but he doesn't understand the historical context for why Moore was chosen.

There aren't any other reasons that make sense to me for this one.

Seems to me changing it in the first place was about "owning racist MAGA"

I think it was more the broader cultural shift occurring with things named for Civil War figures.

That said, regardless of the reason, there was at least some effort put into ensuring the new names were thought out*.

Nothing against Privates Bragg and Benning, but they weren't chosen to be the new namesake of these Forts because of their Valor or contributions to the Army.

*Except Liberty. Fuck that name in paticular.
 
"Poor things, you have to justify your jobs? Suck it up, buttercup, Corporate America has to do this."
1. Not everywhere, not by a long shot, but good talking point, bro.
2. You can't run a gov't like a business. Stop with that argument. You can run with some inspiration and ideas from businesses, but not exactly.
3. Do you have any idea how much time was, is, and will be wasted on these pointless bullets?
4. "Pointless" because people will err on the side of caution and provide bland statements so as to not send out CUI or worse.
5. "Pointless" because people will copy-paste shit week after week. I hate to break it to everyone but for a lot of folks their routine doesn't change. It isn't that they don't contribute, their week-to-week is only marked by a change in statistics, not in duties.
6. Lastly, "pointless" because of what I mentioned earlier: ChatGPT, copy-paste around entire offices, copy-paste from the internet, etc.

I typed my bullets and I sent my email. This might be a lawful order, but it is a "suboptimal" order and serves no real point. Goddamn, it makes the Base harder than a double shot of intravenous Cialis, though. I guess these bullets have a point after all...
