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.

    The US Government has a history of letting fascists in America get away with attempting to take over the country. They wait a few decades and then give it another shot, learning how to do it better each time.

    If we don’t put these people in prison for serious time, we will have them at it again soon and they’ll be even stronger.

      The problem with prison is we have over 100 million of these roaches infesting our nation. We simply don’t have the room or the manpower. Plus, allowing conservatives to continue to live and breed will only result in more of them to deal with in the future.

      Conservatives have been telling us “The south will rise again!” over and over since 1865. It sounds like they are begging us to finish the civil war. Let’s do them that favor. Let’s finish Sherman’s work and bring us all some closure.
