It will always be Bragg to a few hundred thousands. The city idiots can go screw themselves.

That Fort Bragg was named for U.S. Army Captain Braxton Bragg.
ReplyDeleteThis exactly. The town (or the Army post established there, that gave the town its name) was named before the Civil War.
DeleteI grew up there. It's caused a lot of conversation among my family. They're all shitlibs, so it's been entertaining watching the mental hoops they're trying to jump through for this particular minority self-esteem booster project.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be Fort Bragg to me as long as I live.
Ft. Bragg is one of my favorite places in California. There was a seafood restaurant in Noyo Harbor that had the best clam chowder and smoked salmon I've ever eaten. Still haven't found its equal today, and been to many different parts of the country, but never could find any as good as theirs was.
