I was just reading about Bragg - he was the worst general the CSA had, and contributed to their defeat. Only Jeff Davis liked him.
Based on your comment, I also looked him up. And yes, Bragg did an excellent job of losing battles.
The CSA had some excellent leaders, I wonder why Bragg’s name was used for that Fort? Regardless, premier US fighting units are there now. I know a young soldier about to be assigned there, and when he selected it the recruiter called it Bragg, so the name is still being used.

I always wondered why a major post was named after him.
Fort Bragg started as an artillery training center; Braxton Bragg was NC most famous artillery officer and a hero of the Mexican war. The naming of the base had nothing to do with his performance in the war between the states.

Hood as an army commander is right up there with Bragg. If they’re going to rename Ft Hood again, they should go with Audie Murphy, the greatest Texan hero of all.
