Rakkassans; the tattooed insignia "Ne desit vertus". Distinctive Unit Insignia (DUI) ((really???)) was approved on December 15, 1952, featuring the regiment's motto, worn by all soldiers in units authorized to receive it, its worn centered on the shoulder loops of the Army Green Service Uniform
In his book, he basically says we need another crusade. That "leftists" are killing America and that the conflict bt left and right can't be resolved politically. His tattoos are based on the crusades and "exorcising" the left with having one here.
Charming dude.
They're back 1000 years ago when people were understanding life as a fight of civilizations.
All their acts and attitude is understandable as a result of "white man civilization is under siege and USA must lead the fight against impure aliens".
Just a slight upgrade of Stanley Kubrik's iconic movie.
One metric of people's EQ is how far their empathy goes beyond their original tribe.
People who have empathy for other groups, even animals have the highest EQ.
The common denominator of all these events is low EQ and zero empathy. Even among themselves.
So they will cancel each other out eventually
Sort of. They were never sanctioned to go around mass killing people outside of war. The church even excommunicated some of them a time or two because of it. Though when the crusaders came back with wealth and relics the Popes generally un-excommunicated them.
I said in a previously:
If there's a 📸next 2the word Douchebag his definitely would be posted. Isn't it preposterous that all these men lined up in these high positions had sexual assault/rape other demeaning intent & war/death AND all hail that they are Christians?!! Jesus IS love & acceptance
It's hard to imagine someone who looks more antisocial than this guy. The only thing more antisocial would be if he had tattoos all over his face. And still Republicans put him in a position of extreme power. Republicans are antisocial criminals. Period.
He seems like the type who would get his rocks off being allowed to shoot American citizens without consequence. There's a reason Trump chose a guy this obviously unqualified.
Nazis off the street, no doubt! Without relativizing and without discrediting the merits of the Allies: Unfortunately, the air raids on the big cities in particular cost many civilians their lives. Today, as then, every war is simply unnecessary and bad. I wish for peace for every individual.

Couple of hoops to jump through, but as kin you can request his DD-214 and that’ll give his service record from which you can see where he was and with which units etc. C/b a fun project…
There is a difference between Jimmy Carter's use of that cross and the "No Means Yes" man's tattoo. Hegseth got it based on some Crusader inspired crap. Like he wants to go to war and kill certain people based on some sick white nationalist beliefs. Carter's cross was more into building houses.
Enlighten us oh great genius. He's an extremist like many of the religious in America who cry foul over Taliban and Islam yet want to do the same shit here.
He was denied activation during jan6 cause of his extreme views and tattoos. But teach us please
I look at him and think “asshole” He reminds me of all the drunken fools from the old neighborhood— bar flys, losers, wanna be tough guys, he is lucky though — this loser is secretary of defense, i think i just threw up in my mouth
The United Scumbags of America are destroying your democracy and civilization extremely fast, like Hitler did to Germany in 1933. Better stop them before it’s too late.
For the record, if he had had those tattoos when his initial Army physical was conducted, he would have been barred. Two of them are prohibited by the uniform standards.
I’m sure one being referred to would be the Jerusalem cross. Also, Deus Vult(Latin for God’s will). Both date back to the Crusades and are used by extremist groups who wish to eradicate Muslims.
Honestly I’m not sure. The interviewee I heard on NPR said “at least two” were considered to be racist according to military regs and a third was questionable. I’m sorry, he didn’t mention which 2. The interview wasn’t about Hegseth, per se, it was about challenges in recruitment.
Yeah. I’m no expert in military dress standards (I served almost 40 years ago), but the guy who spoke on NPR about it said that at least 2 and possibly 3 of his tattoos wouldn’t meet standards. So I think your assessment is spot on.
Just wanted to point out "Ne Desit Virtus" is the Rakkasan unit crest. I was a Rakkasan as well. Nothing "extremist" about it, but man do I hate that fucker.
That's what I say. I am a former evangelical pastor, and what passes for churches these days are nothing more than political action committees. Forget DOGE. We can solve all our financial issues by taxing the churches.
That Ne Desit Virtus tattoo is the unit crest for the Rakkasans, not an "extremist" tattoo. I was a Rakkasan with 3/187th as well. Fuck I hate that idiot.
When the 187th Regiment was started during WWII, they were made part of the 101st Screaming Eagles. The Regiment started off as glider pilots but then added parachutes. Still are part of the 101st.
During WWII, pilots called gliders "faggots". The first definition of a faggot is a loose bunch of sticks (basically a glider). You may want to read "Lost in Shangri-La" by Mitchell Zukoff. Great story of a rescue of US crewmembers after their plane went down in NZ. The Fearless Faggot was badass.
Not into bodyshaming, but Iʻll make an exception for this toxic, false alpha (and I hate that term- its for dogs). You have a puffy ass dad-bod, Pete. Hit the gym or shine Fucker Carlsonʻs red light at your junk. Its not a good look.
See that? See #3? That's that sweet "We The People" forearm tattoo I was talking about... the one I'm glad I didn't get because it means you're a fascist.
The fusion of fascism with Constitution imagery. Seemingly incongruous, but an old fascist trick to merge or corrupt ancient iconography with popular or contemporary culture.
Bit boy-boy really.

I’m sure some of the deportees were arrested outside Denver, in Aurora. Gang members were there. They were blackmailing residents of an apartment complex. I wonder how many innocents were caught up in this? NO COURT hearings. Now there will be no habeas corpus

That’s why he was removed from Biden’s inauguration duty.
What a fucking travesty
Charming dude.

They matched across Europe, murdering Jews by the thousands, before entering Asia Minor, that is Turkey, and defeating the Muslim armies.
“Whoopsie”

(FTR, I have no tattoos, nothing against, just older perspective.)
So for him, that's a double no-go! 😆

He is a White Guy so that makes him one of the good Racists/Nazis/Misogynists/Homophobes
Nazis-R-Us
capable writing a book.Loved your anti-evangelist essay!
TRUMP Dictatorship
Deus Vult and the Cross of Jerusalem are both from the crusades and are common Muslim genocide dogwhistles.
And the 88 "Heil Hitler" flag . . . Nazis.
So take your pick.
It’s a feature of the tat, not a bug.
This is coming from a former USAF officer as well! Cut off their 'supply line' as well as full area denial, lol!
Team Trump and Team Vlad are planning the chopping up of Ukraine
are you listening NATO
Europe
World ?????
This is how quickly Poland was overrun in WWll...........
They are deporting brown people and just making up excuses to try and not look like racist!
It is done in trumps image
