An angular eagle behind the defense secretary departed from the Pentagon’s established branding. Critics saw echoes of the Third Reich.
A reimagined “Department of War” logo displayed behind Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at a recent speech drew immediate comparisons to Third Reich iconography.
Speaking to Air Force Academy cadets on Saturday, Hegseth stood in front of a monochrome logo for his agency that differs from the designs in the Defense Department’s official branding guide. The backdrop features a stylized eagle that critics compared to the straight-edged Reichsadler used by Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
Yuuup. I’m waiting for they stop pretending they’re not following the Hitler playbook.
Giving credit to others is not part of their modus operandi.
They’d spin it somehow I guess how they’ve been doing it. You’re probably right. They might not credit the man but they are gladly accepting the playbook.
Pretty sure you could have stopped waiting back when they put up concentration camps
I was listening to NPR this morning and they had a guy from Newyork who was taken to a concentration camp in Louisiana. He wrote a book about it.
