A blue-ribbon commission has recommended new names for nine Army bases named after Confederate leaders, including Fort Bragg, which will be recommended to be renamed Fort Liberty, the panel disclosed Tuesday.

The panel has recommended that another eight Army bases be renamed for a diverse group of individuals with ties to the Army.

ABC News was first to report the full list of recommended names by the Congressional Naming Commission created by Congress to suggest name changes by 2023 for U.S. military installations named after Confederate generals and leaders.

Congress and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin must approve the nine naming recommendations, although it remained unclear if Congress would be able to weigh in with names changes of its own before the list is submitted to Austin for final approval.

Fort Flamboyant is more appropriate for the military Biden wants.

When these morons are gone change it back

Does the Disinformation Governance Board approve?

We’ll change it back when the Army becomes American again.

Vets and the troops will still refer to it as “Bragg”.

The same with Benning and other great old posts.

I’m surprised they named it Liberty, a triggering word for wokies.

Sounds like Modern Milley is earning a new ribbon. Must be called the Waddle Award-—Issued for the slowest possible charge into a non-problem. Armed only with a lipstick tube in his teeth. It will hang right under his pole dancer ribbon. Next to his nerf gun marksman badge. soooo proud

According to Civil War historian James M. McPherson, in his book For Cause and Comrades, most Confederate volunteers stated they were fighting for liberty.. So Fort Liberty it is !!

Fort FlamingFag is more inclusive.

Why was a Fort named after that incompetent General in the first place?

[Hieronymus]

The North would have had a much harder time without him.

I was thinking of something like...
Fort Spongebob Squarepants.
Kinda just rolls off your tongue, if you know what I mean.

They renamed Dixie Highway Harriet Tubman Highway in South Florida

Southerners still call it Dixie Highway.

Now about Fort Lewinsky? A name that should go down in history for the service it did in neutering Clowntoon.

[Renfrew]

“I’m surprised they named it Liberty, a triggering word for wokies.”

The worst thing about this name is it’s blandness, but I won’t push back. With the gang in charge we would likely get something much worse.

And when you hit the ground, you got roughly 30 minutes to live.

Cool.
