    This must be older. Last time I was that way it had already been named Fort Cavasos.

    Have a place on Stillhouse Hollow and it's great when the lake is full and it's clear enough to have a dive shop, but Georgetown is using overusing Lake Georgetown plus piping water from Stillhouse. Killeen's population has grown, but north Killeen is rough and the only grocery store (HEB) closed. South Killeen is ok minus still too many juvenile delinquents, but it has Phantom Warrior Brewing, Traveling Pint and Pizza (Southern Roots affiliated I believe), good Korean food, and good food trucks.

    @@eddiejacks9512 I can assure you it is not like "every other small town in America". It has high crime, the downtown is complete trash. There is no inherent culture to the place. It's just a bunch of transient people and the sort that leach off the .mil folks. Now is it just like Jacksonville, NC? Fayetteville, NC and the like. Yep. Tons of pawn shops, strip clubs and tattoo places. Even Harker Heights managed to improve itself over the years, and Copperas Cove is a reasonably nice residential enclave. Heck, Gatesville is even superior to Killeen in every way.

    I can't imagine why. It's pretty much culturally dead. I lived in TX for 25 years and that little Copperas Cove/Harker Heights/Killeen area is complete trash. Heights as I was leaving the area was transforming it's self into a nice commercial area but that's all I ever saw improving. I lived in Cove for most of my time there. It was a better option. Lampassas is the best option in the area. That's actually a pretty cool town. Plus, they have Storm's.

    He's saying that it takes a good military to protect the freedom and peace of the land. North Korea doesn't have families going to the park because they are too busy staving to death and losing their adolescent daughters to the military men who abduct them and use them for exactly what you think. Our military not only does not do that, but in fact protects us from governments who would.

    Long time? It got renamed last May it hasn't even been a year plus this episode came out over a decade ago it only got uploaded to KZread today so back when the episode came out there wasn't even a movement to rename the Fort at the time it came out. So don't blame them for using the name the Fort was called at the time they recorded it when there was no movement to get it rechanged.
