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.
People need to wake the fuck up and open their fucking eyes NOW.
They won’t. Elon Musk did a sieg heil and no one even blinked. The ADL even defended him.
I will be very enthusiastically elated if that happens
They needed to wake the fuck up and open their eyes when their country decided “The Department of Homeland Security” was a very normal thing. If they didn’t then, or at Citizens United, or at masked agents shooting citizens in the street, they won’t now.
They will do nothing. Americans will roll over, allow it to escalate, and accept the escalation as the new normal. Watch.
