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.

    Given how these asshats have tried to appropriate terms like liberty (and freedom, and patriotism, and liberalism, and on and on) you’d think they would be okay with it called “Fort Liberty”.

    I mean, look at “Liberty University” - that place is in no way interested in liberty in any meaning of the term that normal people understand liberty to mean.
