The U.S. military has decided to revert the name of Fort Moore in Georgia back to Fort Benning, a move pushed by former President Donald Trump. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the change, stating that this time the name will honor an enlisted World War I soldier rather than its original Confederate namesake. The renaming comes after a previous effort to remove Confederate-linked names from military bases, which had been estimated to cost $4.9 million. The decision has sparked debate, with some viewing it as a reversal of efforts to distance the military from Confederate history. The Pentagon's move highlights ongoing political tensions over historical symbols and military traditions.
