We should just change the name to "Barbie's Giant Dreamhouse of Parasols."

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 46941307 United States08/10/2022 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | t will cost approximately $6,374,230 to rename all of Fort Bragg's assets to Fort Liberty, according to a new report given to Congress on Monday. Quoting: Where Eagles Dare The report comes from the Naming Commission which was previously tasked with coming up with recommendations for removing Confederate influence from the United States military. The group released nine suggested new names for Army bases back in May. In that report, Fort Liberty was recommended as the new name of Fort Bragg. Fort Bragg is named after Confederate Army Officer Braxton Bragg, who is widely considered one of the worst generals of the Civil War. He lost most of the battles he was involved in and many historians consider him responsible in part for the Confederacy's ultimate defeat. This new report also shows that the Naming Commission considered several other names as possible replacements for Fort Bragg. The commission considered names to honor 1LT Vernon Baker, MSG Roy Benavidez, SSG Félix M. Conde-Falcón, LTG James Gavin, MSG Gary Gordon & SFC Randall Shughart, CPL Rodolfo Hernández, COL Robert Howard, GEN Colin Powell, GEN Matthew Ridgway and GEN Roscoe Robinson, Jr. [link to abc11.com (secure)] If we're going to spend over 6 million dollars to rename the post, we might as well just go ahead and call it Fort Pantywaist and dress everybody in fucking rainbow uniforms with pink berets. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with these PUTRID, FLAKE, SOY, FUCK STICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

They could save a lot of money by only having to change a few letters and it would accomplish the same thing. Also why do they need to change Ft Hood? Just take the Fort part out and Call it The Hood. The sad thing is that more Americans have died at Fort Hood than in the last two years or our fruitless wars.

I caught that from the beginning and might have addressed the subject, but as it turns out, I don't really care. At this point, FORT BRAGG is the name of a U.S. Military Army base, and it will cost millions of dollars just to appease a non-military army of shitbirds, shitheels and losers.
