My former U.S. Army home station, Fort Bragg, has had three different names in this decade.

In 2022, they renamed it Fort Liberty under a bipartisan agreement on Federal property having names honoring those who committed acts to overthrow the Federal government, to remove those names them from Federal properties. It made perfect sense. Don't honor or respect treasonous assholes and keep that shit in history class and museums instead to learn from their shitty actions. It's not rewriting history, it's de-honoring betrayal.

This year, among the elected president's brand new SECDEF's first actions were to rename it yet again, for no officially stated reason, and to a different person that had the same last name of Bragg. The new honoree is Private First Class Roland L. Bragg, not to be confused with the former naming of Fort Bragg which was after a Confederate war General Braxton Bragg.

They did this intentionally, while on the surface and in common vernacular it will sound the same, Fort Bragg, but they just couldn't tolerate the renaming to Fort Liberty. This renaming was to appease the right-wingers who often DARVO cry to left-wing "snowflakes" that want certain things for political correctness.

On the surface, they did it so it wouldn't be changed yet again because it was no longer named after the Confederate General, but we all know exactly why they did it. It's not a hard tell.

While Fort Liberty was the easiest of the recent renamings for them to target, as "Liberty" no longer honored any particular individual, but look for MAGA to keep seeking lame reasons to rename the other ones back in some way, shape, or form.
