FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Sources tell WRAL News a proposed new name for Fort Bragg will be announced on Tuesday. (5/24/22)
The Naming Commission is expected to make the announcement at 2 p.m. and answer questions.
Fort Bragg is named for Gen. Braxton Bragg, who served in the Confederate army and owned a plantation where people were enslaved.
Last year, Congress voted to mandate that military installations named after Confederate figures or sympathizers be renamed by 2023.
The other bases that will be renamed include:
Fort Benning, Ga.
Fort Gordon, Ga.
Fort Hood, Texas
Fort A.P. Hill, Va.
Fort Lee, Va.
Fort Pickett, Va.
Fort Polk, La.
Fort Rucker, Ala.

Trump was opposed to this and would have never approved it.

Total insanity. What about the soldiers (north or south doesn't matter) whose history includes these installations. Do they just cross out the name of the fort and insert the new one?
Utter stupidity.
Remember....the entire southern army was granted amnesty.....lest we forget.

It’s going to be generic stuff like “Independence” and “Liberty” and “Freedom.”

With inflation and crime raging, Fentanyl spreading across the land and our “border” completely overrun... THIS is the government’s top priority.

I served at three of these bases.
A fourth, Fort Jackson, SC, is not on the list. Andrew Jackson owned slaves and ran a plantation as well, but since he founded the modern Democrat party, I guess they cut him some slack.
