2020-07-10 | Gen Mark Milley says Confederates committed 'treason' and backs review of Army base names  | Daily Mail Online

'Fort Bragg was named after Braxton Bragg, a US Army officer who served in the Second Seminole War and Mexican-American War before becoming a Confederate Army general. '

'The House and Senate versions of the National Defense Authorization Act for the budget year starting October 1 include provisions for changing the names of 10 Army bases named for Confederate generals. '

'After years of little change, a growing number of these Confederate symbols are being removed, prompted by nationwide protests against police brutality and racism that appear to have inspired a profound shift in American thinking. ', "Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, noted that some see it differently: 'Some think it's heritage.", "He recalled an enlisted soldier told him, early in Milley's career while serving at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, that 'he went to work every day on a base that represented a guy who had enslaved his grandparents'."
