On June 12th, drunken white guy w/ a title changed the name of Fort Johnson back to Fort Polk
This time around instead of "Polk" after Confederate General Leonidas Polk, it is now named after Gen. James H. Polk.
In 2023 Fort White Guy Traitor became Fort Johnson, named after Sgt. William Henry Johnson, a World War I Medal of Honor recipient. Sgt. Johnson was attached to the first African American unit of the United States Army to engage in combat in World War I.
Now it's Fort White Guy again.
It wasn't until June 16th that we got the memo handed down announcing the change.
