Making Treasonous Generals Great Again [1]

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered that Fort Liberty be renamed Fort Bragg.

Braxton Bragg was a confederate general who lost a lot of battles. Which is a good thing, I guess.

Oh, wait. Hegseth doesn’t mean that Bragg. He means some other Bragg who served in the US military. What a crock.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signed an order restoring the name of a storied special operations forces base back to Fort Bragg. The North Carolina base was renamed Fort Liberty in 2023 as part of a national effort under the Biden administration to remove names that honored Confederate leaders.

The base’s original namesake, Gen. Braxton Bragg, was a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina, who was known for owning slaves and losing key Civil War battles, contributing to the Confederacy’s downfall.
