The question with Fort Bragg that I'm hesitant about - not having served - is the value of institutional tradition of the name to the people who have served there. That said, it's an active base, not a statue. And it's ridiculous by any standard to honor Braxton Bragg. https://t.co/6RHhESDOsK

I only served at one place named after a confederate: Ft. Benning. I don’t think any of us even knew who Henry Benning was, and I didn’t find out he was a confederate until googling it 30 seconds ago. I’m not a southerner, but I utterly dgaf if Benning is renamed

Yeah, I've read quite a lot of Civil War history and did not know until this year that Benning was a Confederate. He's a pretty obscure figure.
