The Pentagon announced Monday it would restore Fort Liberty's original name of Fort Bragg, but would honor a different Bragg than the base's original Confederate namesake.

Oh yes, famous US general that was so good he...checks notes... only had 3 partial victories and lost all the rest of his battles. Then got fired, kept on in Richmond until he bravely ran away and was captured. Also, A traitor to the United States!

Yeah, except this time they think they're being slick and naming it after a different dude named Bragg who was some PFC Silver Star recipient in WW2. Because, y'know, there aren't any MoH recipients with different names who are worth naming a major base over.
