Many at the time of the Civil War were loyal to their home state over the nation or the causes.

CPL Dave Hoover True. And —> Churchill was right and there = plenty of re-writes du jour (i.e., pick one or more: historically correct, 1/2 truths, ugly but true, fact driven, fact/s conveniently omitted, right, wrong, election year -speak, revisionist, PC and otherwise). Long story short many of my friend’s families honor their’s in both blue and grey and all = 100 % USA. E. Pluribus Unum.

I say rename Fort Bragg Fort Robert E. Lee -- if my vote counts. Wait, isn't that name already taken?

SGT Robert Pryor - I really liked the hot sand between the toes, and the dirt on the jeans. Lol

@MSG Michael Davis, while I do not condone any form of racism, are we going to rewrite history? It get to the point of how far we can go. Ive been to 7 out of 10 of the posts during my Army time and I knew a lot of them were named for Confederate Generals but to rename them I just dont know.
