TIL that Fort Bragg isn't named after a Confederate general anymore. It's named after a private from WWII who's claim to fame is having the same last name as a Confederate general.

The end run around the matter so the shitbags can wink and nod and go ‘oh it’s TOTALLY not named after an insurectionist that was pro treating other human beings as property and couching it as ‘a way of life.’ We’re TOTALLY naming it after this other guy that happens to have the same last name! Honest!’
