This is a good move. There will always be some who claim "it'll always be Bragg for me!" and that's okay. Having spent time at Liberty (Bragg), Moore (Benning) and Johnson (Polk) it will always be difficult to separate the names from the memories I have of them. People can have their memories, but that doesn't mean we should continue to enshrine the names of traitors to the nation, people who don't embody the ideals we claim to uphold.

We should work to be better. and if that means that future soldiers make memories at Ft. Liberty instead of Ft. Bragg, that's a small step in the right direction.
