(16,130 posts)military bases named after figures from a failed rebellion?
Was that to placate the losing side?
Is the reason they cling to hard to their flag (which wasn't even an actual flag in the CW, but that's beside the point) that they were coddled and allowed to feel as if they somehow "won"?

(28,946 posts)According to Army Reg 1-33, the Asst Secretary of the Army (Manpower&Reserve Affairs) has the 'final' say about naming Army installations. Unfortunately as s/he works for BunkerBaby, he could call down fire and rain and get his way. How the other branches work it is probably similar.
