Summary

Army officials are exploring ways to rename Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg without violating laws prohibiting Confederate names.

Fort Bragg, originally named after Confederate General Braxton Bragg, was changed in 2023 following a congressional mandate. Trump vowed to reverse the change, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fueled speculation.

One option under consideration is renaming it after another soldier named Bragg.

Costs for the initial renaming exceeded $6 million.

      Isn’t it weird how the monsters on the right use phrases like “support the troops” in nearly the exact fucking opposite way most people would interpret that to mean?

      In their use of that term, it’s aimed at anyone taking issue with the foreign adventures some Republican President is scheming to get us into…as far as actually supporting them once they are used up and thrown away, well fuck that, I guess.
