He's got deus vult and the Jerusalem cross-- white supremacy bullshit that can be argued away as "no I'm just really into being christian, promise!"

In 2024, Pete Hegseth said concerns over his Jerusalem cross tattoo and the symbol's ties to extremists caused the District of Columbia National Guard to pull him from a mission to guard the inauguration of President Joe Biden and helped spur him to retire from the military.[21][22] According to fact-checker Snopes: "Two of Hegseth's Christian-based tattoos [the Jerusalem Cross and the Deus valt tattoo] use symbology that has become associated with — but doesn't necessarily indicate adherence to — Christian nationalist views. Historically, both tattoos have connections to the Crusades, a series of wars in which Christian armies sought to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim rule in the 11th-13th centuries."

Even if they’re not, that shit is too close to Edward Norton in American History X for my comfort level.
