Not dismissing your suggestion in the slightest, but what would you rename the forts and camps as? Just out of curiosity.
Fort Benning = Three options, Fort Darby, Fort Rogers, or Fort Lee (not the shit one).. Darby led Darby's Rangers who became the Army Rangers, which Benning is home of Ranger school and the 75th Ranger Regiment and 3rd Bat. However, Camp Darby is already part of Ranger School, so they could instead opt to go further back with Fort Rogers which harkens back to Rogers Rangers during the French and Indian War, however they were technically a British unit since America didn't exist yet. However, during the Revolutionary War the members of Rogers Rangers opted to fight for the Continental forces rather than the Brits. Camp Rogers also exists as part of Ranger assessment for Ranger School though.. Lee, named for General William Lee, is often called the father of the US Army Airborne, which the school is also located at Benning. So all three options are better, Lee is probably the "best" since Airborne school sees more students.
Fort Bragg = Fort Bank, the founder of Army Special Forces, which Bragg is the home of Special Forces, pretty simple.
Fort Lee = Since Fort Lee was where WAC was headquartered during/after WWII (the Woman's Auxiliary Corps) before it was disbanded and they intergrated them into the regular army, the two most obvious choices are either Fort Hobby (the first director of WAC) or Fort Sampson, named for Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a man to fight for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War
Fort Hood = Fort Murphy, named for Audie Murphy, MOH recipient, one of the most decorated soldiers in American history, and a Texan native, super easy.
Fort Polk = This is arguably one of the shittiest posts in the Army, there's really nothing redeeming about it, so I honestly couldn't give a shit less what they call it. I guess Fort McNair or Fort Clark since those were the two twats who decided to put a base there for large scale unit training.
Fort Gordon = Fort York. Sergeant York was one of the most decorated Army soldiers from WWI, MOH recipient, and was stationed at Gordon, similar to Murphy, an easy choice.
Fort Pickett = Fort Marshall, named for General Marshall the Chief of Staff during WWII, considered himself a Virginian, commissioned from the Virginia Military Institute.
Fort Rucker = Fort Dillard, an Alabama man and the first black Intelligence Officer in the Army, and the first black officer to graduate from the National War College.
Fort Hill = Since it's also in Virgina, the next best "Virginian" to name it would be Fort MacArthur, General during WWII, MOH recipient.
Camp Beauregard = I honestly don't know anything about this base, other than it's a National Guard base in Louisiana, so I'm sure there's someone they can pick that's better than a traitor. Maybe Fort Rickenbacker, another one of America's most decorated soldiers and an ace pilot during WWII, MOH recipient.
Camp Maxey = This base isn't really used anymore and hasn't been for a long time, but it's still technically there. Call it Camp Holland for Milton Holland, the first native Texan to receive the MOH (fighting for the Union Army during the Civil War)
Camp Pendleton = Camp Basilone, named for the USMC MOH recipient John Basilone who was stationed at Pendleton. They already have a road named after him going into the base, on the base, a crucible challenge named for him, and one of the drop zones on the base is named for him. Just name the base for him already.
And that's just picking soldiers, you could also pick various civil rights leaders, or other important figures in American history, both military or otherwise.
