Fort Bragg is renamed Fort Liberty to honor the 'greatest American value' as in U.S. Army's most prominent move to erase Confederate names from bases
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Fort Bragg shed its Confederate namesake to become Fort Liberty on Friday

  • Veterans hailed it a small but important step in making the U.S. Army more welcoming to current and prospective black service members

  • Not everyone agrees with the name change - at least one former service member described it as the 'pinnacle of wokery'

  • The change was motivated by the 2020 George Floyd protests to rename military installations that had been named after confederate soldiers
