#1 There's a WNBA team named the Liberty - just sayin'.

#4 Foul. Braxton Bragg by his actions contributed more to the success of the Union forces than a host of Union generals.

#5 Exactly Proco. If you surveyed the men who served under Bragg in the Army of Tennessee the vast majority would agree with changing the name from Fort Bragg.

#6 Fort Liberty. What a gawd damn joke for multiple reasons.

Thoughts of the "Patriot Act" come to mind suddenly. I wonder why....

#7 These base names were used as an olive branch by the army post civil war to sweeten the fact that they were going to station large numbers of troops in formerly hostile territory. Evidently we're not doing 'reconciliation' any more.

#8 ...not to mention appealing to the vast number of southern boys they shipped out to die 1917-2020.

#9 Nathan Bedford Forrest threatened to kill him after the battle at Chickamauga Creek.

#10 Like so much else in the woke panoply, this ultimately is just a form of appeasement. Gratuitous changing of: names, academic standards, history, criminal statutes, affirmative-action, reparations, is just appeasement to "assuage" guilt for some and mollify "anger" and misbehavior by others. In all of history, appeasement, like Dane gelt or tribute, just buys momentary pauses followed by more blackmail, because it worked!

Exactly corret. Little more than boot licking and pandering.

#12 B, I would add "obsequius" to that. The Dems are suffering compound fractures with all the kneeling and genuflecting.

#13 They could name it Fort Fuckery for all I care. The military is being gutted with wokeness and until they actually get back to the job of breaking shit and killing people, I don't give a fuck.

#14 I will say that the Infantry Museum at Bragg is first rate. Or at least was, the last time I was there. The Artillery Museum at Sill is also impressive.
