Hegseth orders US Army to restore name of Fort Bragg

What this shows you is Trump's people are reading the rules and figuring them out this time around.

Congress did pass a law banning naming things after Confederates, but they knew that going in and named it after the soldier who fell during the Battle of the Bulge.
I don't understand why the Congress is allowed to do that. People should be able to name their towns whatever they want, even if the name hurts some people's feelings.

The land of the free....whatever happened to it?

Army Bases, not towns. Army Bases are federal sites.

You guys crack me up.

You are celebrating a cowardly move by the head of an organization that isnt supposed to have cowards, the US Military.

He was so scared to name the Fort back to Bragg for the reason he wanted to that he found a low level PFC to name for it. LOL

Cowards leading cowards making cowardly decisions serving under a coward who cowardly dodged his service.
I don't think it's cowardice like you say. If the Congress truly did make it illegal to name things after confederates, then he did what he did because he did not want to go to jail.

The government does have power over federal sites and indeed can name them however they want. However, passing laws to ban certain names just sounds very tyrannical to me.

If some general tries to name a site after a name that the government disproves of, by all means demote him or reprimand him in whatever style is appropriate. Making it illegal just seems drastic.
 
We salute you, General Braxton Bragg. You served our nation well. Patriotic Americans will never forget you.

---The renaming of Fort Bragg honors all U.S. soldiers who have trained to fight and win U.S. wars, Hegseth wrote in his memo, "and is in keeping with the installation's esteemed and storied history."---

good.
 
Not a totally honest way to do things. But if that's your only goal,
Getting things done. guess it worked.
 
You tards are the most disengous twits ever. You know it. I know it. Kiss my white ass.
Why do Maga types fill you with such hate? They are still people, just people who have different political beliefs than you do.

No. We're normal Americans.

dimocrap scum are different
 
Honestly, I don’t care. Fort Liberty was a good name for Ft. Bragg assuming it had to be renamed at all.

The other names of such military installations isn’t much of a blip on my radar.
My son went to OSUT and jump school at Benning. He would like it changed back. My daughter went to Fort Lee and Fort Hood. She doesn't want Hood changed back as she hated it there. For Lee, she doesn't care.

Typical liberal misinformation - in other words lying. He changed the name back because he could not name it after Braxton Bragg because Congress passed a law saying they could not be named for Confederates.

The only coward here is you who seems to be afraid of the facts.

I have a slightly less doctrinaire point of view on name changing military installations. I don’t sweat them one way or the other.

But I do understand that it is questionable that we still use the names of Generals from the Confederacy.

By way of an analogy: If Germany had a military base (in Germany) named Fort Hitler or Fort Goebbels, I’d be plenty pleased if they changed the names.

The Confederates were not on the same level as Nazis.

I agree. But it doesn’t change the point.

Our civil war against the Confederacy saw us defeat them. They were the enemy. And they did kill thousands and thousands of troops on the American side.

As a matter of course, we don’t usually honor the enemy after defeating them. And naming a military installation after a person is an honor.
