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.

Politics aside. Bragg was a terrible general. One of Jefferson Davis’ more embarrassing choices.

Keep the old confederate names and put the person's political party in the name.

Fort Confederate Democrat Rucker, etc.

Are they going to rename the cities such as Fort Bragg, NC as well?

Oddly enough, there is a Fort Lee, NJ. This town has a larger Asian population (42.6%) than White population (39%). It has a median income which is above average for the state of NJ as a whole and has a very low to non-existent violent crime rate.

I doubt the Asian residents are overly concerned about the revisionist history of the town's namesake as they are too busy being successful, getting educated and raising their families in 2-parent homes. They aren't making excuses for their lack of success because they feel "oppressed" by the so-called "white supremacy" reflected in the name of their town.

The reason behind the names was to sew the country back together after the war and get southerners to join the military.

The transgendering is overt subversion of the military.

The left better be careful with naming. Most of their “gay” icons turn out to be pedophiles.

Remember “Larry Brinkin Week” in San Fran? That didn’t age too well.

We should all thank Nimrata Randhawa for getting this ball rolling.

It’s not her history, so she doesn’t care.

Time to rename all those pubs too, with the stereotypic Irish names like O'Malleys, McGuires, McGillans and Mollys.

You would think that all that the Irish people want to do is to sit at bars and guzzle down beer and ale while consuming mass quantities of fish and chips and shepherd's pie. All while listening to Pogues and Dropkick Murphys music on the old jukebox.

As one with a little shanty Irish in him, I am deeply offended with this stereotype.
