Trump, who opposed the change as president, pledged to restore Fort Bragg’s name during a town hall Friday in the nearby city of Fayetteville, home to many troops and veterans.

About time. According to Northerners, everyone south of the Mason-Dixon line is racist.

The US Army have campaign medals for those that served in a war. The Civil War Campaign medal has a ribbon that the half blue and half grey. All those that served in that war were Americans.

A lot of good men have passed through Fort Bragg, and “Fort Liberty” is especially lame, of course the American people accepted President Clinton taking the black beret from the Rangers.

Don’t worry about it. What matters is all the men who went through there and went to Vietnam and lost their life. It’s a slap in the face to every man who trained at Fort Bragg. That’s why we keep the name, not because you’re a fan of General Bragg.

According to the department of defense and VA, every single man who served in the confederate army is an American veteran. That is by US law.

“Army National Guard units that previously traced their lineage to the Confederate Army were stripped of their Civil War battle streamers in 2023.[7] The descendant units remain in service, but the Army National Guard no longer recognizes the lineage nor authorizes the streamers for campaigns against the U.S. Armed Forces.”

Unbelievable!

These name changes and monument destruction is the democrats attempt to erase American history. Which is necessary to further their one world order.

One of the first things that the communist did when Obama 3.0 kicked off was to erase our history. Communism sucks.
