Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I love the reveal further down that this is from "Fort Liberty" with the hyperlink still directing to the page for Fort Bragg lol
E) Also it's very funny that if you follow the link to their page on Fort Bragg they start off with a little puff piece talking about the base's "proud culture and rich history" and then has these articles recommended directly underneath:
E2) for clarity, the photo was taken by troops stationed in Alabama, but when the reporter asked someone there about it they said it was "a 3rd group team patch taken out of context" 3rd group are the ones stationed at Bragg. So the "out of context" is the fact that this guy from 20th group (sattioned in Alabama) is wearing the fascist iconography of 3rd Group from Fort Bragg in North Carolina. A base infamous for human trafficking, drug trafficking, murder, and rampant drug abuse/overdose.
lmao they finally 'rebranded' Fort Bragg huh?
Yeah it happened twoish years ago which I'm sure had absolutely nothing to do with Seth Harp's reporting and was only about the fact it was named after a Confederate general and Jefferson Davis' like #2 guy.
