Hegseth indicates that Fort Bragg will not be the last base to be renamed

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered that Fort Liberty’s name return to Fort Bragg. He said other changes are coming.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed Tuesday that returning the name Fort Bragg to a major Army base in North Carolina is just the start of his efforts to override name changes made to bases that once honored Confederate leaders.
 
Fort Moore, Georiga — formerly Fort Benning — Hegseth hinted, is high on his list.
 
“We’re not done there,” Hegseth said during a news conference on Tuesday in Stuttgart, Germany. “There’s a reason I said ‘Bragg’ and ‘Benning’ when I walked into the Pentagon on Day 1. But it’s not just Bragg and Benning. There are a lot of other service members that have connections, and we’re going to do our best to restore it. It’s an honor to do so.”

The Army changed the name of nine bases in 2022 and 2023 following recommendations by an official naming commission. All nine bases were originally named for generals or leaders of the Confederacy. Among the more controversial of the changes were decisions to change Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty and Fort Benning to Fort Moore.

Pete's looking for military heroes with the same names as the Confederate generals for whom those southern bases were named.  Pretty slick move.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Nice to see some sanity returning with the grown-up back in charge.
