Many of the Confederate generals attended West Point Military Academy

When it was changed back to Fort Bragg, it was not to honor
Confederate general Braxton Bragg.  Instead, it was renamed in honor
of World War II paratrooper Roland L. Bragg.

of Defense $6,374,230, making it the most expensive name change."
I couldn't find a price tag for the cost of changing it back.
