Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Renames Fort Liberty to Fort Roland L. Bragg

I did. It's a clever little 'wink' to cover what they're really doing. Good on them to dig up a private from WW2 and use his sacrifice like this. Very patriotic
You assume naming a base after a traitor bothers him. Clearly that is the goal. The big signs leading into the base will say, "Fort Bragg", and they will talk up the win against the woke revisionists.

Why didn't the Biden Administration do this and save a lot of money?
Not the question.
Do you think they spent a lot of time in the Biden Administration pining to rename military bases after traitors? You guys are off to quite the start. Releasing violent felons who beat up cops, and now honoring seditionists. Kudos.

Back when people were sane, the "seditionists" were recognized as fellow Americans caught up in a disastrous political climate.

World War 2 hero in the Battle of the Bulge....can't you read??
True, but you know this is just being done because Hegseth wanted it to be called Bragg. So, they found someone with the same name to call it what it used to be called. The poor Roland is a pawn.

That said, I’m ok with honoring this solider. Just funny or sad that this is being done to put the name back.
 
****ing morons who hate America tend to do that to me!
Yes.
No.
Moi? Hate America? Not I!
I love America!
I hate traitors like Bragg, Arnold and Trump!
Same reason the left needs an absolute POS, scumwad felon named george floyd as your saint! 🤡
which military case is named after George? Is there a street in Minneapolis names after George?
If not, what is your hard-on first George?
General Bragg probably tried to kill your kin folk back in the day.
 
Now you're flailing.
insert Wallace Shawn gif here.
The name of the base is Fort Liberty. They didn’t rename it after Fort Roland Liberty.
Please post here when Roland Bragg’s descendants are allowed to speak at the renaming ceremony in front of a sign that spells out his full name.
Sad that an Iowan defends bad generals who took up arms against the United States. But, given your pro cop beating stance we shouldn’t be surprised.
Bummed out the women won again tonight?

He’s a guy that consistently claims he knows what Trump really means when he says stupid stuff.

It’s pretty obvious what is being done here. Doesn’t take some leap.

Yeah this actually makes sense, probably should have done this decades ago. I don’t get some folks fascination with naming and keeping statues for confederate traitors.

It doesn’t matter what the name is, you just need to find a better “standard” for why it’s named that.

The problem with the name, "Fort Liberty" is that in military jargon, "liberty" means you're allowed to stop working.

Not a great name for a workplace.

Or do what I've proposed time and time again and never name things after human beings.

My god, you're still here bawling over this? Better save some tears because MAGA isn't even warmed up! In fact, we're not even out of the package yet!! 🤣
 
Fort Liberty to be renamed back to Fort Bragg, but with a twist


Dumb

What happened was the conservatives wanted it named after the confederate slave owner so they tried to work around it and found some random guy with the same last name and just claimed they were naming it after him instead.

It's not like Roland Bragg would have even been considered if it had not been for having the same last name as the slave owner.

Dude won a silver star which is great but it's not an MOH and there are thousands of MOH winners you could have named it for. But none of their last names matched the confederate slave owner's.
 
When was Ft. Bragg renamed? Why? By who?

Biden admin renamed it to Fort Liberty because it was previously named after a confederate slave owner.

Trump admin found some random private in WW2 who had the same last name and got a silver star and claimed they were naming it after him.

It's BS because the only qualification this guy had was having the same last name as the confederate slave owner. Not trying to tear him down, he won a silver star and did something heroic but there are thousands of MOH winners that they ignored.

This was basically what conservatives think DEI is for people with the last name Bragg.

I'm not sure Lloyd Austin could do a single push up in comparison
and as soon as a good sec of defense is defined by how many pushups they can do...this will be a great point

the us military is made up of millions of people, administers a budget of hundreds of billions of dollars, and manages assets worth trillions. it is ALWAYS going to a bureaucracy, whether the fox news guy wants that to be part of the job or not

but if you're looking for a guy to "play military", do pushups, and post on social media about it...i'm sure you're thrilled with hegseth (and of course YOU are, literally everything trump does gets the scruddy stamp of approval)
