That tends to be the way of things. Fort Benning is always going to be
Fort Benning. Been around that place too many years to think of it as
anything else no matter the reason for the name change. Hell, that NFL
team in Washington DC will always be the RedSkins to me. We humans
tend to be like that with our connections to places and people formed
over the years.

Even the President of the United States of America can't force people
to think of a certain body of water as anything else but connected to
Mexico no matter what he wishes.
