Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general associated with being a slave owner and losing battles during the Civil War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The local post is among nine Army installations identified for a name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What\u2019s being said on social media<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to the Reddit post about Fort Liberty, users chimed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can\u2019t name the center of the universe after a single person,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another person speculated that the decision to rename Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty was because the U.S. Army Special Operations Command and 82nd Airborne Division \u201cwanted it named after one of their guys and neither could agree on one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Naming Commission was like, \u201cFine, if you babies can\u2019t compromise, you\u2019re gonna be Fort Liberty,\u201d the user said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another user shared a similar sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey were like, \u2018We\u2019re gonna turn this Naming Commission around if you can\u2019t agree and get along.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few Reddit users referenced Liberty Mutual Insurance\u2019s commercials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLiberty Bibberty,\u201d two people commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others said they would have preferred the home of the airborne and Special Forces to be renamed after Medal of Honor recipient Master Sgt. Roy Benavidez, who was a top 10 consideration by the Naming Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m just gonna call it Fort Benavidez,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One individual said Benavidez \u201cseemed like the perfect choice,\u201d since he served in both Special Forces and the 82nd Airborne Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another agreed. \u201cGetting the post named after Roy should\u2019ve trumped all disputes between 82nd and USASOC,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>But why is it being called Fort Liberty?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a June letter to the editor, retired Maj. Gen. Rodney Anderson said he participated in stakeholder meetings about the renaming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe task and purpose of the soldiers, families, paratroopers and operators who live among us is to be the liberators,\u201d Anderson wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the final meeting, Anderson said the group of 50 community leaders \u201cconcluded that Fort Liberty was the right choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Naming Commission\u2019s report to Congress, \u201cFort Liberty symbolizes the U.S. Army\u2019s defense of liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word liberty, the report states, is featured in the 82nd Airborne Division\u2019s song and is part of the Army Special Forces\u2019 motto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May, the commission announced that after community stakeholder meetings, it was recommending renaming Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty, which Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin agreed with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. John Wilcox, Fort Bragg\u2019s garrison commander, said in a radio interview last month that he expects the name change to happen in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>*Editor\u2019s
