Good. They were all traitors.

Was driving by Fort Walker the other day and they did a great job on all the exit signs, boundary markers, and what not. Didn’t see a single “AP Hill” anywhere. Naming Army installations after quite literal traitors is absolutely insane.

I’m not big of naming anything after traitors, but out of all of them Confederate General Bragg arguably did more to help the union than the confederacy.

Bragg is generally considered among the worst generals of the Civil War. Most of the battles he engaged in ended in defeat. Bragg was extremely unpopular with both the officers and ordinary men under his command, who criticized him for numerous perceived faults, including poor battlefield strategy, a quick temper, and overzealous discipline. Bragg has a generally poor reputation with historians, though some point towards the failures of Bragg’s subordinates, especially Major General and former Bishop Leonidas Polk—a close ally of Davis and known enemy of Bragg—as more significant factors in the many Confederate defeats under Bragg’s command. The losses suffered by Bragg’s forces are cited as highly consequential to the ultimate defeat of the Confederacy.

It was weird that they ever had them to begin with.

I wonder if the Soviets ever had installations named after white military commanders.

I like the choice of this forts name the best of them all.

I would have preferred they use the names of Union generals, but I suppose many of them are already taken.

whoop dee doo. militarys still wasting billions of tax dollars and causing havoc on the rest of the world. idgaf about some stupid ass fort names they just shouldnt be there at all
