Pete Hegseth's New Tattoo Is Causing a Stir with Muslims - Here's What It Means
Western Journal ^ | March 27, 2025 | Jack Davis

Pete Hegseth’s ink is making quite a stink.

The heavily tattooed secretary of defense was photographed Tuesday working out with Navy SEALs in Hawaii, with the images shared on X.

“Kicked off the day alongside the warriors of SDVT-1 at @JointBasePHH. These SEALs are the tip of the spear, masters of stealth, endurance, and lethality. America’s enemies fear them—our allies trust them. Proud to spend time with America’s best,” Hegseth wrote.

Then came a closer inspection from Scott Adams, who posted his research on X.

“Interesting: Hegseth now bears a bold new tattoo—’Kafir,’ the Arabic word for infidel, inked on his arm. The term is commonly used by Islamist extremists to label non-believers, and Hegseth’s tattoo sends a clear message of defiance,” he wrote.

A tattoo is a permanent reminder of one’s temporary insanity.

Someone once told me each inch of tattoo reduces your IQ by 5. If that were true lots of folks would have started out smarter than Einstein and ended up dumb as a rock.

On second thought, maybe that’s not too far off.

Please see post #7. I greatly prefer Pete Hegseth’s “temporary insanity” over John Bolton’s PERMANENT insanity! :-)

In my day, actual the really elite military units eschewed tattoos.

Best analogy for all of this ugly inking I ever read was: "Inking is like slapping a bumper sticker on a Lamborghini."
