Hegseth: "We're not done there. There are other bases that have been renamed that erodes that very same legacy. There's a reason I said Bragg and Benning when I walked into the Pentagon on day one, but it's not just Bragg and Benning."

But Bragg is now named after a soldier from WWII, not Braxton Bragg the racist. So Pete is just a little weasel pretending to name post offices and playing military.
Yet the "RESPECT THE TROOPS" crowd will love this shit.
He is weakening our military.
I get some people are like, "Good."
But keep in mind Little Dictator Don wants to get into the cabinet where the toy soldiers are and with this guy in charge it will be a fucking disaster.
Buddy walked out of a town hall meeting with troops after being asked whats he gonna do about the threat of china after shutting on dei for 15mins. Is he too drunk to realize he’s got an actual job to do and not just shit on dei and be mad about renamed bases?
Yes. Let’s name our military bases after the generals we’ve defeated. When we’ve run out of confederates we can move on to Nazis. A good fit for this administration.
they don’t care about your questions. They’re going to lie. Trump is not going to listen to the courts. He is going to do what he wants the next four years.
Trump doesn’t care about his constituents who voted for him now that he’s in office.
They are working towards destroying democracy.
So let me get this straight. He didn’t change the name of Liberty back to Braxton Bragg but to some other guy named Bragg and he thinks he is preserving “legacy”?
Name every single American military base after a Confederate traitor that should've been executed. Do it. Make it crystal clear. Fort Pillow. Fort Hood. Fort Jefferson Davis. Do it today. Or are they afraid to do it?
How many DOD resources are being tied up in finding benign-ish vets who happen to share surnames with confederate generals? No doubt Heghog underlings are scouring VA records for a “twist” in order to restore Fort Benning (and stressing it’s not for a charter member of the Ku Klux Klan, wink-wink).
To think of all the veterans and families who paid the ultimate price for this democracy and to have this buffoon as the head of the defense dept just makes me nauseous.
Thinking the same thing. I guess it's a lot of sawing and sexually assaulting young women over there at DOD. All those domestic terrorists in the military forces who think women are property and only good for 1 thing. He fits in pretty good.
He does not have the authority to change the names of those posts. Previous name changes were authorized through Congress. This is that same illegal BS we're getting with the rest of Trump's lackeys.
Funny, considering how many people were pretending that the renaming was not some rules-lawyer shenanigans to get back to the name of an incompetent racist.
He said them because he's a regressive troll who thinks the color of his skin and the dangling bit he shows off way too much qualifies him for any job in the country.
It's a white dude reckoning!
Say?
Does anyone have a pair of
This is obviously the only thing he's qualified to do, PR stunts for bigots. The actual department is being handled by ugly people tRump doesn't want to see on his TV.
Is this what the primary job of Secretary of Defence, naming bases? I would expect there were more pressing issues. If this is all the Sec Def does, Hegseth is passionate about the subject.
i understand you are all living one accident away from bankruptcy and extreme poverty, cannot afford healthcare or eggs but wont somebody think of the *checks notes* names of bases
The Heritage Foundation is the major culprit. They've owned both sides of the aisle since they were founded as a 501(c)(3) in 1973. They're funded by big corporations and, at one point, by the Korean CIA. STOP THE MONEY, STOP THE POWER, STOP THE CONTROL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heritage_Foundation
Technically though they were under occupation by the Nazis so for them he wasn't a traitor. To the Norwegian people who resisted he was and they destroyed it at the end of WWII. We on the other hand are still dealing with this 160 years after the fact.
Base names don’t erode the American status, the leadership does. I was a pro American person, loved visiting certain cities, love 2 sports teams (Fo Flyers & Eagles) however as a Canadian dealing with Donald’s stupidity, I’m so sick of all of this. Fool me once America…
These guys are more worried about their darling Confederate war buff than they are about that little child in the womb who's about to not have AIDS medication to prevent them from getting sick. I thought these guys were pro-life but now I know they are definitely pro-death!
So he has no qualms when immigrants wave flags of the countries they're from, right?
I mean, if we're going to be switching names to celebrate a failed and treasonous nation, its not a a problem all the other flags like LGTBQ+, BLM, or other countries flags get flown, right?
So the White Supremacist regime honors and supports the Confederacy. Of course they do. MAGA isn't aiming to take us back to the 1950's. It's the 1850's they really long for.
Wait a minute. He didn't "rename" Ft. Bragg after Braxton Bragg, he completely changed the name to honor some other guy named Bragg, thus making his statement senseless.

This 'leap' feels neither 'great' nor 'foreward' TBH

So MAGA it hurts!
did he forget he no longer works for fox?
Can't tell you the relief.
Whohoo!

But at least he’s sober today and not raping anybody…or thing.

Maybe, if we are lucky, Young Sheldon will be named to a cabinet position and put this all right.
