honor the 'greatest American value' as
in U.S. Army's most prominent move to
erase Confederate names from bases

Fort Bragg, one of the largest military installations in the world, was renamed as Fort Liberty on Friday, dropping its Confederate namesake once and for all. It is the largest Army base by population to be renamed so far with around 29,000 people serving on the North Carolina base. A ceremony took place in which some veterans said agreed was a small but important step in making the U.S. Army more welcoming to current and prospective black service members.The North Carolina base was originally known as Camp Bragg and named in 1918 for Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina,

The worst thing Bill Clinton did (and there were plenty!) was to begin the promotion of the "political" Generals and Admirals—beginning with Wesley Clark. The military hierarchy has been on a downward spiral ever since.

Anything to make the military more welcome to blacks. Seriously : Was this a real problem? Did any black serving in the military ever care about who their base was named after. This isn't to make black soldiers feel better. This is to cater to black racist race baiting sons of Bewitches. Changing history the kiss buttocks.

There have always been weenies out there who want to change things just for the sake of change. I lost count of the number of Lieutenants that got Achievement Medals for rearranging the office or putting up a stop sign. I feel a lot more connection to a real Confederate soldier than some generic (and inaccurate) name meant to placate the rubes. In 1992 or so the Air Force changed its Senior NCO stripes and made the dress uniform look like a TWA pilot. Nobody knows why. Someone probably wrote themselves a promotion over it.

Fort Bragg has housed MANY of the greatest military heroes from WWII to just a day or two ago. It was an honor to be trained and stationed at Fort Bragg. Some guys went into the army to go there specifically. How many guys are gonna join up to serve at Fort Cupcake? I'm so glad my time on earth is so short. I don't wanna live in this comic book any more.

The goal of more black service members is not always a good thing. Ask any veteran who served under minority-dominated units. Skin color became more important than everything else. Favoritism and preferential treatment are practiced openly. Be careful what you wish for. Woke is more often broke than not. At least with white leadership, everybody is treated like a dog but it's fair. I don't know a lot about General Bragg but often the Confederate officers were better trained and more effective than their Union counterparts.

Just a stupid crock. Huge amounts of history was made at Fort Bragg, and these pandering, stupid fools just erase that. Not one in a million people knew that Ft. Bragg was named for a Confederate general, and not one in 10 million thought anything negative about it. But virulent, seething racist haters apparently run about 24/7 with their hair on fire looking for things to hate, frantically searching for things that "offend them". These sad, sick, nasty little racists are pathetic, destructive, tiresome people.

Fort Nuthin' to brag about... I was there just after 911, working on a contract, arrived , coincidentally, just as Bush's motorcade did one day. Perimeter was fully armed, bradleys at the gates...I was cleared in put had to wait for the motorcade to roll through. One van was pulled from the line, surrounded and barred entry...a press van. National media poutrage ensued. BUT...the reason they were pulled out was because they got huffy at the place where they embarked into the vans, refused the one they were assigned and demanded another more luxurious one...ALL of the motorcade vehicles had been pre-inspected/searched, that one had NOT, because it was not supposed to participate. They thought just switching the printed piece of paper from the windsheilds was sufficient, gate guards caught the difference between the sheet of paper and the plates. I fell in line behind the motorcade and flipped off the angry newsies as I followed it in.

If Trump is elected as President the first thing he should do, like Biden did, is change all the military forts and ship names back to original names. Open pipelines and drill for oil, then put all illegals on notice the fence construction will start after Trump pulls the plug on the Ukraine war. Does anyone think a young black person even knows who Bragg was, I don't think so or does he care and rest easy on that post knowing of the name misplacement debacle. FJB

Remember Liberty? Liberty is when you choose to have a gas stove, like the one your mother had, and your grandmother had. Liberty is sending your kid to the school down the street not over 5 miles away because a political hack has decided your kid needs to experience diversity. Liberty is deciding if you want steak on your plate, not bugs. I remember Liberty.

I had two ggrandfathers who fought for the Confederacy and one who fought for the Union. As other posters have mentioned, no young blacks would know who Bragg was and damn few whites. Or, actually, any history at all. I had a young lady in my office many years. She saw my Sons of Confederate Veterans certificate and asked me if I had fought in that war! She didn’t have a clue of the dates of the war or even what century it occurred. That said, Bragg was not an outstanding general to say the least. After the war, General Joseph E. Johnston wrote, “ Jefferson Davis tried to do what even God could not do...make a soldier out of Braxton Bragg.”

I don’t like these woke moves but Braxton Bragg was a terrible general. Probably one of the most disliked and ineffective officers on either side. I could never figure out why he was honored with a base naming in the first place.

Bragg was so disliked that his own troops tried to frag him - twice. His poor generalship is one of the reasons attributed to the United States’ victory in the Civil War. Perhaps that’s why the base was named for him in the first place- an honor he did not deserve. They should have renamed the base after Omar Bradley.

Tren de Aragua has become the “scourge” of Times Square thanks to the Harris-Biden administration’s lax border policy — and the feds need to swoop in to stop the ruthless migrant gang, ex-NYPD top cop Ray Kelly said Sunday. Kelly — a former Clinton appointee to Haiti during its deadly 1990s upheaval — was asked in the 77 WABC radio interview if migrants who belong to gangs, including Tren members based in makeshift hotel shelters in Manhattan tourist mecca Times Square, amount to an “invasion” of the US. “Absolutely,” Kelly told John Catsimatidis, host of the station’s “The Cats Roundtable” program.

Former President Barack Obama came out swinging at Friday’s rally in Arizona, questioning former President Donald Trump’s competence.

Mr. Obama’s comments come just months after President Biden, 81, dropped out of the race over concerns about his coherence.

For years, Democrats across the nation have reassured Americans that our elections are “safe and secure.” But in a stunning reversal of their own rhetoric, Democrats in Tennessee are now raising alarms over voter irregularities. The Shelby County Democratic Caucus held an emergency briefing on Thursday to address disturbing reports that voting machines were flipping votes from Democrat candidates to their Republican rivals. Democrats like Tennessee State Representatives G.A. Hardaway and Antonio Parkinson, both from Memphis, joined Election Commissioner Vanecia Kimbrow at a press conference

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) posted a video to X on Thursday promoting efforts, alongside their friends at FEMA, engaged in disaster cleanup. It is a demonstration of government efficiency at its absolute best. Or maybe not. They were promptly ratioed into oblivion for the effort. Worried about hurricane cleanup in Florida after Hurricane Milton? Fear not. These folks are on the case! "Along with our partners at @FEMA, we will continue with disaster recovery as a result of Hurricane Milton," the video is captioned. "The safety of the American people is our top priority."

On the campaign trail this month, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to “close the federal Department of Education” and expand school choice — a wildly popular concept that cuts across party lines, new polling shows.

The terror leader, who was responsible for the massacre of over 1200 people and the abduction of over 250, may be the key to securing the return of hostages, two sources told CNN. Israeli authorities are reportedly discussing how to leverage Sinwar’s remains.
