It’s wokeism gone amuck. An how much taxpayer dollars to change every sign, every form, every place the name Bragg is referenced. This is a covert subversion of our military.

And the renaming commissars rejected changing the name to Fort Edward Bragg, a Civil War UNION general. He was a cousin of Braxton’s...I guess to close to a traitor. mega-sad. https://www.wral.com/union-general-edward-bragg-cousin-of-fort-bragg-s-namesake-dropped-from-list-of-names-to-replace-military-sites/20192051/

Erasing your own history in akin to national suicide. We are on a woeful path to cultural and political dissolution.

Changing those names will be at least the equivalent of new weapons systems and will make our enemies tremble with fear.

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

Kinda wish America still stood for those sorts of things.

My Dad was stationed at Fort Gordon when I was little. We lived in N Augusta, SC. We were also at Yuma, Fort Belvoir and in Texas but I forget the Fort. My Mom would unpack in 30 seconds knowing that he’d be transferred. 27 years in the Army. He loved it. Made it to Master Sargeant.

He was in Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, Korea and did 2 tours in Vietnam. My mother had a nervous breakdown on his 2nd tour because Cronkite would flap his yapper every night and say how many died and where. Always waiting for a knock on the door from Army officials and a minister.

Mom and Dad are both in Arl. Natl. What’s happening to our military today is beyond pathetic.

Reminds me of the names given to people in Ayn Rand’s dystopian future novel “Anthem”. In an age where there was no individual freedom, and it was a death sentence to use the word “I”, people were assigned names such as

Equality 7-2521 (the hero of the story)
Liberty 5-3000
International 4-8818
Fraternity 2-5503

We are supposed to be tolerant and inclusive.
Yet the Left wants us to to eject everything they don't like.
These names are part of our history. Leave it alone.

Yes it’s weird how correct Rand and Orwell are turning out to be.
