A look at Fayetteville, North Carolina, home to Fort Bragg, that poses the question,'Are we all military dependents?'Fayetteville has earned the nicknames of Fatalville and Fayettenam. Unusual and not-sounusual features of the town include gross income inequalities, an extraordinarily high incidence of venereal disease, miles and miles of strip malls, and a history of racial violence.
