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.

    “professional trolls”.

    Yes yes yes. Keep voting for the party that is so unlikable and ineffective that they COULDNT beat Nazis, twice.

    You know what else is weird? They NEVER mention this and showcase the threat these Nazis actually are. They work WITH them AGAINST the working class.
