Change Ft. Bragg to what, Ft. Kumbaya?

Could any of these limp wristed "progressives" even explain who Braxton Bragg was and what battles he fought in?

There are 16 US Army Medal of Honor winners (2 in WW1, 5 in WW2, 3 in Korea, and 6 in Vietnam) from North Carolina.

Any one of these would be better than Braxton Bragg, who failed in invading Kentucky, lost Middle Tennessee and Chattanooga for the Confederacy, and was relieved of command by Jeff Davis.

He actually did win one battle (Chickamauga), but squandered the victory by not pursuing to destroy the Union Army. Why should we honor a loser like Braxton Bragg? And, shouldn’t a US Army base be named for one of the heroes who won the Medal of Honor while serving in the US Army?

As his men used to say “Braxton Bragg. He’s hell on retreat!”
