DIX, 509!

To destroy a nation you must first destroy — or cancel, if you prefer — its history.

[goodnesswins]

I would go alomg with this...IF...we removed the names of all politicians (from top down) from parks, buildings, etc.

[cld51860]

Oh, the irony.

“Liberty,” whilst the commies consolidate their grip on the country.

[Verginius Rufus]

Yes, Gen. Bragg contributed more to the eventual Union victory in the war than many of the Union generals.

[kagnew]

“Why not Fort George Floyd?”

Damn, don’t give those nut cases in DC any ideas.

[tennmountainman]

Austin is an idiot.

[TokarevM57]

....it just keeps on and on....in Richmond, Virginia, the famous Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Administration Medical Center is getting a new name...he was a very esteemed and brilliant physician,teacher, a leader in every sense, in the Confederate States’ Army, but today......well, can’t have that.....

[Rappini]

Our Republican House must be asleep at the switch.

[dennisw]

I thought they were going to rename it Fort Martin Luther King or Fort Al, as in Al Sharpton

[1Old Pro]

Our Republican House must be asleep at the switch.

Don't expect anything different. we can sing songs but nothing will change. A change (a change would do you good) Would do you good (a change would do you good) I think a change (a change would do you good) Would do you good (a change would do you good)

What about Fort DIX?

Pete Buttigieg lobbied strenuously to leave it unchanged.

[BitWielder1]

There is no Liberty if we're not allowed to keep historical names.

[central_va]

President Trump will change it back.

[SuperLuminal]

The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!

[Palio di Siena]

What about Ft A P Hill?

[Vigilanteman]

LOL! That is a novel way to put it.

An interesting debate would be whether Premberton or Bragg was the worst commanding officer is the short history of the Confederate States of America.

I'm not sure of the answer, but I will argue that Bragg had more impact. The loss of Vicksburg was relatively anticlimactic compared to the fall of Atlanta.

[syriacus]

Why not just remove one “g”?
Fort Brag

[kawhill]

I guess this is one of the most important things they have to work on. You can’t hardly make this stuff up, I dare you to even try.

I was a very young space geek when I saw my first Apollo launches. At the time it was Cape Kennedy... and that’s how I learned there had been a person named Kennedy!

I was aware of the older name, and was 9 when they reverted.
