Would you support that?
You know, I I was in the army when we went through this kerfuffle of naming all the bases.
And I thought, OK, well, if we're going to name all the bases, we're never going to make everybody happy.
So let's just name the base for the city it's in.
Let's just do like the Navy does or what the Air Force does, like Mountain Home or let's just name it for the city it's in.
But we went to this whole kerfuffle of changing the name, which cost the American taxpayer for military bases that were named after Confederate generals, which I agree with the notion of.
That cost over $30 million.
Signage, funding, ridiculous.
And within the first week of Donald Trump coming back into office, one of his first executive decisions was to change it back.
So now I watched it.
I literally...
watched at Fort Bragg on the road that I drive on every day coming home from my son's school, where that sign went from Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg.
And the same dude that worked for the Department of Public Works was the one out there changing the sign because I took a picture with him.
I'm like, don't you think this is ridiculous?
And he was like, he was like, yeah, man.
He's like, I just took this sign down last week.
I was going to take it home and put it in my garage.
But before I could even leave work today, they were telling us to put this new one back on.
So 60 million dollars down the drain because of some pedantic job creation.
Yeah, you know, and it's just, you know, when they're like, oh, it's going back to Fort Bragg.
