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.
You mean aside from the blatantly obvious Nazi uniforms for Space Command?
And the recent Iowa repubs convention literally show hitler speeches?
Oops! They said the quiet part loud.
People need to wake the fuck up and open their fucking eyes NOW.
There’s no olive branch.
That’s sort of disturbing itself given the symbology of an olive branch.
Also, why did they change it from 13 stars (from the original colonies I think) to 5? Nazis are VERY image based people (so much so they would probably get classified as a personality disorder thinking about it, self-harm, cognitive dissonance, splitting) so they mean everything they show.
America has always been a bit nazi. Even the surfers
The DOD eagle is very close to the shape used, just with a slight swoop to the top of the wings.
Sometimes the wings have been pretty straight.
Both of those were taken from .mil pages. The major difference is in the straight horizontal feathers, which does match the Reichsadler.
It’s questionable, but I don’t think this is a slam dunk you take to your Fox News parents
Agree. It’s even right there on the flag two feet away, which they’ve been using since 1949.
Fox News parents are already gone lol
i mean. the fox news parents are already probably nazis anyway.
Or so twisted they’ll not be able to get out without professional help. It’s pretty culty and people spend their lives getting over that stuff.
There’s a pretty common thread of thought that they are ushering in the apocalypse, or in it already or something. That thought process takes a lot of work to prop up and nurture and a lot of that is internal. Who knows what that crash out will look like.
All the Nazi stuff is pretty concerning, but I believe that’s more of an issue for military aged men than anyone else and society already has a way to deal with that.
If only they’d done any other deliberately Nazi-esque things you could include to prove a pattern of behavior.
It’s not accidental, it’s intentional.
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.

And that’s taking the connection to Roman Empire out of the equation
He just needed fElon there in the audience throwing his heart out to him to really sell how un-nazi like he is.
The dude with a swastika tattoo who’s in charge of a fascist regime’s military and just launched the new Reichsministerium für die Kirchliche Angelegenheiten had a logo redesigned to look like the Nazi eagle
…and someone thinks this is a coincidence?
Other than the guy standing in front of it, pretty well a duplicate
He had to block the swastika, they’re not fully “out” Nazis yet.
Long before this he was showing signs.
Hail hydra i guess, issue is only the dumbest heads remain.
Y’all Nazis don’t get to monopolize eagles.
Especially since the Nazis stole our eagle first.
The Romans would like a word.
Don’t you mean the Persians, whom the Romans stole it from?
Not sure this is surprising given how ultra-nationalist both the 3rd Reich and Magats are.
