Yes it was a Crusades era Jerusalem cross.
The same thing that was on Jimmy Carter’s funeral handout.

Yes it’s correct. I saw the clip.

Yeah, babble the troll has been booted for NeverTrumping more than a few times.
I read the entire article and I think you must have also. From the article:
“It is much easier to blacken a candidate with sexual allegations than with a campaign based on the issues. However, experts agree that a Nazi salute beats a sexual allegation hands down.”
So basically, they want to talk about anything but the issues. The author says the issue is NATO.
“All the Democrats and three RINO senators voted against Pete Hegseth because of NATO. And it’s much easier to concoct sexual allegations than have an open debate about the relevance of NATO in the 21st century.
No president has had the cojones to say that since the fall of the Soviet Union we don’t need no stinkin’ NATO. Even Donald Trump has skated on the issue.
Until he appointed Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.”
How much money do we spend on NATO? I’m sure that it’s a lot. It’s a lot to give up.
The Warsaw Pact is no more. The Soviet Union is no more. I think it’s time say we (Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Pole II, Lech Walesa) won. All I am saying is give peace a chance.
O.k. I’ll say some more. Putin is Christian and must see the threat posed by Islam. Putin and Russia could be natural allies of the United States. I think Putin sees more clearly than most Americans that Western civilization is on the brink. I would rather see a united Christendom that a fortress America. Israel must also be part of the alliance for many reasons, including moral and theological.
Dafuq you on about?
Deus Vult is Latin, not German.
"Deus vult (Latin for 'God wills it') is a Christian motto historically tied to ideas of Divine providence and individual interpretation of God's will."
The phrase has been used from the original Crusades in the 1000's, to modern Christians. That it happened to be used by Nazi's and extremists is not associative.
You might as well say that, since the Nazi's used punctuation, that everyone who uses punctuation is a Nazi.
Do better.
It’s all Ukraine. At a minimum Hegseth has an open mind on the issue and is willing to find out what REALLY has happened there.
And that scares the hell out of those implicated.
Re: 4 - the tats are not material in the end. Claims of alcoholism in that position are always a concern.
He had his hearing (hearings were largely useless), the vote was taken. He has his chance to lead the DOD and will be measured on that.
