Subject: Meet the new Ft. Bragg.
It's not the same as the old Ft. Bragg.

One of my favorite parts about this bait and switch is this. [my bold]

In June 2024, Hegseth told The Everyday Warrior Podcast, “We should change it back because legacy matters. My uncle served at Bragg. I served at Bragg. It breaks a generational link.” Since the base could not be named after Braxton Bragg, Hegseth and/or his people did their homework and went looking for someone else with the last name Bragg in an effort to restore the name.

Enter Private First Class Roland L. Bragg, a veteran of World War II who earned the Silver Star and a Purple Heart in the Battle of the Bulge.

Hegseth apparently cared so much about Pfc. Bragg that he didn’t bother to tell his family the base was being renamed after him. Bragg’s daughter, Debra Sokoll, told NPR she had only learned of the name change moments before they called her because another reporter had called to ask about it.

The Army left a message for the family on Monday night — after the renaming was made official — but had not provided the family with any details, according to NPR.
