El Departamento de Defensa de EEUU le devuelve su nombre al Fuerte Bragg
– Ubicado en el Estado de North Carolina.
– La Administración Biden/Harris no tuvo mejor idea que cambiar los nombres centenarios de varias instalaciones de las Fuerzas Armadas por motivos ajenos a los militares.
maquina-de-combate.com – El Departamento de Defensa de Estados Unidos ha renombrado al Fort Liberty, ubicado en el Estado de North Carolina, en el este del país norteamericano, para en adelante denominarle Fort Bragg. La administración Biden/Harris le cambió el nombre a la icónica instalación militar en junio de 2023, habida cuenta que llevaba el nombre de Fort Bragg en honor al General Braxton Bragg, quien prestó servicios para los Estados Confederados durante la Guerra Civil que estremeció Estados Unidos en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX.
Para merecer tal honor el General Bragg se habrá destacado como estratega militar y si bien defendía el lado equivocado que buscaba separar a la Unión estadounidense y buscaba preservar estilos de vida que incluían prácticas de esclavitud que hoy en día son impensables, es pues parte de la historia de Estados Unidos, les guste o no, y buscar reescribir la historia nunca ha sido una buena motivación.
El día de hoy, el secretario de Defensa de Estados Unidos, Pete Segseth, le ha cambiado el nombre al Fort Liberty a Fort Bragg en homenaje al valiente soldado Ronald Bragg, quien coincidentemente lleva el mismo apellido de aquel general del siglo XIX.
