forefront and now that we understood fort hood where i was stationed, fort rucker, it s pretty remarkable to think we ve come a long way and if we change the name on these buildings we have no perspective of it. i am less interested in the name, wow, there was a time when we were naming these buildings and naming these bases after confederate generals, and then look at me, as a black apache helicopter pilot flying combat air missions in baghdad, that s absolutely amazing. outside of america, i don t want to lose that perspective. the thing is too, when you re talking about renaming all of these bases, this stuff costs money. it costs minute, millions of dollars to do it and right now we ve got barracks and other things going on right now that are deteriorating on our bases. it s a complaint i get from a lot of field grade officers is the barracks for personnel are becoming quite antiquated. these things were built 50 years ago but we re going to be spending money on renaming bases
