During a speech at Fort Bragg, N.C., Donald Trump said that he would restore the names of all US Army bases that were named for treasonous Confederate generals but were ordered changed by Congress in the waning days of his first term. His move skirts the law mandating the removal of Confederate symbols from the military through the same maneuver used to restore the name of Fort Bragg, which was briefly renamed Fort Liberty. The US Army stated it would "take immediate action" to restore the old names, but the base names would instead honor other American soldiers with similar names and initials. For example, Fort Eisenhower in Georgia, honoring the late president, would revert to the name Fort Gordon, the Confederate slave owner and suspected KKK member. This time around, however, the US Army said the base would instead honor MSG Gary Gordon, who fought in the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia for which he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. read more
