The Trump Presidency 2.0

I first heard the notion of this by either John Plaster or John Meyer (MACV-SOG), can't remember which, on a podcast when this first erupted a few years ago. He talked about the community being small and clique-ish, a tribe, that identified "Bragg" as the home of that tribe.

"Liberty" is just fucking gay, so stupid. With the volume of MoH guys who went through Bragg, much less the rest of the certifiable studs, they could have picked a better name. I am not sure, however, they would not have the same issue as they are having now with the frustration over changing the name to begin with.

I get what you are saying, but because it is not meaningful to you doesn't mean it's not meaningful to someone else.
The father of the Airborne is William Carey Lee.
 
I think Bragg is the only one that President Trump campaigned on, so I suspect this is it. He'll take the W and move on. No need to retroactively rename everything else. I think most of us are probably happy with most of the rest of the re-names.
Impressively quick with the Wikipedia update, too, and it only first mentions the Liberty renaming several paragraphs down as a historical footnote.

"Caught" or "set" on fire?

We had a power outage, lights go out for a second or so while the backup gennies kick in. Cool. Network connectivity? How cute. Then the fire alarm goes off, but only the strobes and thankfully nothing from the sprinklers in my area. Go outside, stand in the sun, and watch fire truck after fire truck stream into the base. After almost 2 hours they told us to go inside, grab our stuff, and go home. Bonus points: we're waiting to hear if we go in tomorrow.

Looking forward to what happens this summer when our temperamental a/c units start acting up.

Look at the bright side, at least your building has a fire alarm. One of my buildings has canned air horns hanging on the walls in the hall way. In the event of a real fire, someone has to sacrifice themselves to alert others. lulz.
