Exactly this. Ft Bragg has a noble tradition that has nothing to do with being politically correct. It's about Warriors that bring the pain when our country depends on it.
During World War II, tank destroyers were developed to counter German mobile armored units. Wide-open space was needed for the tank destroyer testing and training. AD Bruce was assigned to organize a new Tank Destroyer Tactica Center. He chose Killeen, Texas for the new camp.
In mid-August, the camp was occupied and the official opening took place on September 18, 1942. Camp Hood was named in February for the Confederate General John Bell Hood, who commanded Hood's Texas Brigade during the American Civil War, part of a series of new training camps named for distinguished military leaders.
So it was literally the WW2 generation who named this base.
She's 47 kinds of hotness, but when talking about my love for her, that's not the core of it. She is doing a job! Not good enough to get by but exceptionally well, she is that shinning light on the hill.
I'm in awe of her every time she steps to the podium. Every day she gives the mob an intellectual bitch slap. It's beautiful.
I agree. Generations of soldiers have served at Ft Bragg. The name "Ft Bragg" has a special meaning in the Army (and the other services) because of what goes on there, not because of who it was named for.
That being said, the fact that they named a base after Bragg to begin with is pretty shocking. The guy was a fairly incompetent general.
Yep, I'm not a vet but plenty of my family and friends served. We won't like it at all. It will always be Ft. Bragg

Yep. People that know....know
But I love the names as well. Please leave them as they are!

All those men did was save the world. That's kind of a big deal.
Agree to change all the names, but only to names of trump and his family.
Very, very smart lady.
She's a fighter.
This is why Trump hired her.
Great choice
Love Kayleigh McEnany. She hits hard and beats the presstitutes back toward sanity.
KMAC verbally pummels the press, takes a video as proof and sells it back to the them. That's badassidry at its finest.

The White House press pool was especially nasty to today.

Looking forward to Fort Trump in Killeen, Texas.
Except GEOTUS

Cool so why would a name change matter then?
You aren't alone patriot.
