Carthage is located near Fort Liberty, which used to be called Fort Bragg until our woke, Marxist military leaders decided the name was offensive as it was in honor of Gen. Braxton Bragg who fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.

See how sensitive they are to being offended if someone were to start building statues of William Sherman glowering over every monument and building dedicated to the failed slave state, shattered army, and economic suicide pact that was the Confederacy.
fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.
There’s your problem. Why you honoring a traitor who fought against America, again?

Because as far as they’re concerned they are the rightful inheritors of America (or at least all wealth, power, influence, and goodwill it has accumulated even if actively working against the things that brought them about) and those who do not recognize this “truth” are the usurpers and traitors.
“America” isn’t a country, a history, or its people. It’s their divine entitlement, their birthright, the ball in the kindergarten that they won’t let any other kid play with because it’s “theirs” the actual owner and their intentions for it be damned and they’ll jump you after school if you touch it, then invoke their relationship to the principal if you sass them back or - heaven help you - meet them with equal force.
“Because as far as they’re concerned they are the rightful inheritors of America (or at least all wealth, power, influence, and goodwill it has accumulated even if actively working against the things that brought them about.)”
Ironically, the descendants of slaves have a better claim to that, since nearly all the wealth exists because of our ancestors’ labor, and the power, influence, and goodwill exists because of the wealth. But then, without taking the land from the people who already lived on it, where would they have performed that labor.
Basically, the Good Ol’ Boys are the only ones with no good claim!
“Fort Liberty, which used to be called Fort Bragg”
Uh huh. Ever read Robert E. Lee’s view on Confederate Statues?
He was against honoring traitors. But ‘taking up arms against the government’ literally is the definition of Treason in the Constitution.
I used to serve on the USS Hunley, a submarine tender. Pretty sure they picked him because there were only so many American inventors associated with submarines.
But the original Hunley killed more Confederate crews than enemy. It would seem a poor choice even aside from the whole treason thing.
"until our woke, Marxist military leaders”
NOT honoring losers and traitors is Marxism, now?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
