Finally! I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t cringed every time they heard an ATIS recording intone, “Notice to Air Missions.”
What we really need is a federal law forbidding politically or ideologically-motivated terminology and name changes across the federal government. It’s good to see Ft Bragg back, because everyone knows where and what it is, and everyone just looked puzzled every time they heard “Ft Liberty.” No different from tearing down all those statues a few years ago - history was what it was, and no tantrums will change that. Learn from it as necessary and move on.
Rep Jan Schakowski speculated on the floor of Congress that women are deterred from jobs in manufacturing because the word contains “man.” Notices to Air Missions reflected the same ridiculous mind set.
This shouldn’t even be political. I think “Gulf of America” for something that has been the Gulf of Mexico for 400+ years is beyond silly, too.
