At some military bases they put up a map in the HQ lobby, and that's supposed to be "informative" enough that they don't bother with street signs. And a lot of the people who live on stateside bases don't know which way the streets go, unless they're field grade officers who have to drive every day to get to the free (for high grades) golf course.

The MP (AP?) officiator's badhaviour probably wasn't as rare as it should have been even some time ago.

Unfortunately, too many times the one who has the authority to demolish historical things feels compelled to do it just to prove (s)he has the authority, and history be d***d. But one can hope.

If there's to be a restoration, it likely would have to be done at outside (civilian/veteran) expense, based on some of what we've seen at local and nearby bases here. If left to the gov, they probably wouldn't even get a good salvage price for the scrap.
