the challenges this calling for 100 years, braxton bragg, what we call fort bragg -- most of the soldiers don't even know who braxton bragg is coming to be quite frank about it, the confederate general, but for 100 years, these bases, and this is one of the most prestigious, have participated in all the foreign wars the united states has been involved in in the 20th century and in the 19 years of the 21st century and the 9/11 wars, they've served with honor and distinction. the history of these bases is rich and its enduring end in their minds it was their home. this is where the deployed firm, this is where they come back from. so as we have this national conversation about what is appropriate, i don't believe we should be so dismissive of this history. i'm informed by condoleezza rice, the former secretary of state, who is a black woman, as we know, grew up in the deep south in alabama and said after the charlottesville incident, and we began to take the statues down like we are doing now, she advised us, be careful, we should not sanitize our history. and i think that's sage advice. i'
