Fort Bragg will officially become Fort Liberty on June 2, 2023

I like that name.

I don’t think we should be naming military bases for the failed military generals from a different country, one that went to war against the United States.

Not so sure roaming around looking for a reason to be outraged is a good look. And those forts were named the way they were in the same spirit that Grant showed in his treatment of Lee and his troops at Appomattox and displayed by Lincoln when he asked the band to play Dixie when he heard of Lee’s surrender the next day.

@thinkingman

They tried to name Ft. Polk after me. I’m flattered, but no.

Fort Six Foot has a nice ring to it though.

It stood for something. Just not what you need it to.

You won, why are you still angry?

Angry? I’m happy.

I’m happy every time a confederate general is done being honored in the United States of America.

Apparently, republicans don’t want that change. They love the confederacy.

That’s cause you’re woke and they’re not.

@PurpnGold

so that you are happy?

I didn’t name it.

But you (c) are shedding a tear because it’s renamed.

Yep, end of an era. A good era. Of course I was actually there.

But hey! You got your way over your betters. Congrats.

The era is over because of a name on a base?

The drama…

The man has been dead forever. Nobody remembers him. Why do you think the name of the base was changed? Who the hell cared?

Braxton Bragg, confederate general, did not make Ft. Bragg what it was.

If you had served, you might understand.

The people did… so the name of the base shouldn’t matter. Yet here you are…

I rest my case.

The soldiers did, yes. It was never called Fort Braxton Bragg, Confederate General.

You’ll never set foot on it, so why should it matter to you at all?

My tax dollars pay for it. I don’t want military bases that honor traitors who fought to keep slavery.

Seems most conservatives on this board disagree. Y’all can continue to support the confederacy. “Party of Lincoln” huh?

Be honest. You didn’t give a ■■■■ about the name of the base until it was changed. Now you’re all for it. Faux patriotism is pathetic.

How many tax dollars were spent changing the name? I’ll bet just the committee that sat around and decided what names should go and what name to replace them with cost millions.

What country is Liberty from?

[WuWei]

@PurpnGold

My tax dollars pay for all your critical consciousness programs, including the millions this particular change cost for your fee fees.

“I don’t want…”

Again, congrats.

“We” aren’t. “They” did.

Again, congrats. Hope you sleep better.

[WuWei]

And to get the south to participate in WW1

[e7alr]

It was a work in progress, civil wars tend to do that to a country. Just look at Yeman.

Should probably change the name of the democratic party as well, for the same reason.

the naming of our military installations after confederate generals definitely affects me. it was, is and always will be an abomination.

the correction is long overdue.

[WuWei]

No, it doesn’t. It isn’t about you.

It’s like the whore setting with makeup. Never a good look, but some people still do it on purpose (especially the never-could-hack-its).

Imagine being this delusional.

[WuWei]

Alvin Bragg should be forced to change his name.
