This is such a dumb and weak way to operate. If Pete wanted the confederate name, he should say so.

He behaves like a little boy.

They don't like Liberty?

Still, will probably piss MAGA off..

wonderdogabides.bsky.social•42 days ago

Then he got drunk and pissed himself, Hegseth, not Bragg.

sammythecat.bsky.social•42 days ago

That’s one ugly blue suit. And stupid baseball cap. What an utter embarrassment he is, our alcoholic rapist Secretary of Defense 😡

doug-profitt.bsky.social•42 days ago

Does this useless shit bag understand what a massive pain in the ass it is for EVERY SINGLE PERSON on a military base when the name changes?
Not to mention the cost.

But, support our troops, and efficiency - am I right?

heraldob.bsky.social•42 days ago

important stuff right there🙄

Cute wink-wink racism is still racism

khloedawn.bsky.social•42 days ago

That’s all they hav done is rename shit and destroy shit. Do something like play in traffic.

rogerwallacetn.bsky.social•42 days ago

Imagine the Repub meltdown if a Dem took the word "liberty" off of a military base.

george.borkbork.ca•42 days ago

Hegseth seems to be against Liberty...not a good look...

shedevilpatrol.bsky.social•42 days ago

Humble bragging whilst manspreading on public transportation?

sameastheold.bsky.social•42 days ago

This was a way to rename the fort to Bragg to please the bigots but deflect the backlash by saying it is the other Bragg. I'm calling bullshit on this.

Forever call it Fort Roland. If ppl get butthurt over it just be like "oh you meant the other guy? the loser? the coward? weird flex but ok"

They were going to name it Ft Trump, but they couldn’t find a Trump that served… anywhere… ever.

neithandunderhill.bsky.social•42 days ago

There's a ton of good names out, the only reason to do this is to wink knowingly at white supremacists.

SECDEF sure defines "unity" differently than I do.

bizzlemcdizzle.bsky.social•42 days ago

Motherfucker.
He knows damn well people will always associate it with the original Bragg, and that’s what he wants.

lisajyarde.bsky.social•42 days ago

You know, priorities. Again, these dipshits can name anything whatever they want. But nothing stays the same. Ever. They should remember that.

yasharali.bsky.social•42 days ago

2. Among his many acts of bravery, Bragg once stole a German ambulance to save the life of a soldier from his battalion.

minerva1.bsky.social•42 days ago

Stealing a German ambulance is…cool but not something that gets you a base.

androidmedia.bsky.social•42 days ago

Anyone account for the cost associated with the renaming?

andhewolf.bsky.social•42 days ago

Sad he’s now forever tied to the Bragg who was a treasonous racist, it sounds like he used to be a cool guy.

cousinmo.bsky.social•42 days ago

And…Hegseth thinks the dude he saved was German…?🤔

gmcg1613.bsky.social•42 days ago

Only a matter of time before he names one Fort Hitler in honor of that hero Bob Hitler.

nevereverquit2.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’d be interested in seeing the legit proof of those claims. I think we all know what this “wink wink” means.

teeth077.bsky.social•42 days ago

I'm sure Roland Bragg was a hero but come on - if there was a German military base that was named Fort Hitler, closed and then reopened and the Nazis that reopened it claimed it was named after the polka musician Hans Hitler, I'd give them such a side eye people would think I was having a seizure.

steve-in-manhattan.bsky.social•42 days ago

I think we know what they really mean.

vegasbrad.bsky.social•42 days ago

What a clown. We all know that’s not why he did it.

kdneedles.bsky.social•42 days ago

He's going to have to find alternate "heroes" for every fort which has been renamed, while everyone will know what idiocy he's really up to

evilrbt.bsky.social•42 days ago

They’ll rename one of our bases Fort Klux Klan after famous Vietnam War hero Stu Klux Klan.

reader80.bsky.social•42 days ago

Why, was renaming it after William Bragg to honor the physicist not an option? /s

marvinlindsay.bsky.social•42 days ago

Fayetteville NC native here. “Fort Liberty” is as corny a name for a base as “Operation Enduring Freedom” was for a war. Braxton Bragg not only was a traitor, he was a terrible general loathed by his own soldiers. So, I actually like this move. Good on Private Bragg for swiping the ambulance!

craigphd.bsky.social•42 days ago

Someone at the defense department was told to google “other army vets named Bragg” and found one they could use. Trump will ruin this too by saying it’s really for the civil war general. He doesn’t care.

bluehaired006.bsky.social•42 days ago

I didn’t by have a problem with once against n renaming (back to Bragg f the story s true about PFC BRAGG. Pretty cool actually.

elpoeta.bsky.social•42 days ago

I gotta tell you: I don’t give a fuck about naming military bases.

sandymann.bsky.social•42 days ago

so how does it feel to do state propaganda?

1cynthiasl.bsky.social•42 days ago

He’s drunk.

optimisticdoomer.bsky.social•42 days ago

What a weird move. Why even revert the name if you're changing who it's named after anyway?

klap-em.bsky.social•42 days ago

Because they passed a law not allowing for naming after confederates so this is their cool way to subvert that…

optimisticdoomer.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oh extra dumb, then. I wonder what the most bizarre example will be.

klap-em.bsky.social•42 days ago

This might be the only one, others are newly named after legit people, harder to strip those away. I think they purposely left this one as Liberty knowing it would be easier to change back.

traceyhtweet.bsky.social•42 days ago

They might not have done the change had the fort been given a name of a deserving person and not an abstract term. This is a win for them.

allison4713.bsky.social•42 days ago

Nothing against pfc Roland Bragg but yeah, right. I'll believe that one when trump stops wearing makeup.

cphug184.bsky.social•42 days ago

Can't wait until they comb the archives to find some godforsaken Private named Andrew Philip Hill, who shoveled shit in Louisiana, so they can return the name to AP Hill.
