Fort Liberty is no more. It was formerly known as Fort Bragg during the Biden presidency in a push to give military facilities named after Confederate generals a woke makeover. It was part of that weird period where liberals were obsessed about the names of things, statutes, and other silly stuff that was a blatant attempt at erasing American history.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signed a new memorandum renaming Fort Liberty in North Carolina to Fort Roland L. Bragg.
Hegseth signed the memo shortly before landing in Stuttgart, Germany aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17. The name Fort Bragg is coming back, but with a twist. It will not be named after the former Confederate general.
Instead, the new name pays tribute to Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge.
