They restored the names, but iirc they named them after random other ppl with the same names. Like fort Hood in TX - now named after Robert B Hood, a WWI colonel. So, he couldn't even do that right and all the chuds in favor of this didn't even really get what they want

Trump's faithful don't fuss over minor details.
Also are ignorant of minor (and major) details
