Rear-echelon motherfucker wants to wear Hugo Boss. And maybe something he can't take off.

The eagle is clutching arrows, representing a fasces, the root of the word fascism, representing the power of the state. Traditionally depicted with an axe at the centre, a fasces was a tool used by the roman armu to discipline soldiers. An axe for decapetation, rods for beating.
these things are everywhere un modern nation states, but I'm told it's not important, it doesnt mean what i think it means.
it is also the root of the word f*ggot, a bundle of sticks.

Yes.. Nazis, they're all Nazis....
Goldberg fallacy in full effect.
American fascism was a huge inspiration for German fascists.
I'm not familiar with the Goldberg fallacy and a quick google search failed me. What does it mean?
I've always thought the stylized eagle was an odd choice.
"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.
"With all this Injustice, he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides he is a rank Coward: The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District. He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country...
"I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle, but looks more like a Turkey. For the Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America... He is besides, though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on."
-Benjamin Franklin
Bald Eagle takes food from the Fishing Hawk like USA takes oil from any country who has oil. Seems Bald Eagle is a suitable mascot for USA. Although with all of USA's other bullshit, probably a huge insult to the Bald Eagle.
he says all that but we all know its because he thought they were making fun of his baldness
It's not odd. It's a perfect fit for them. It's intentionally on brand
unlearned history repeats
They learned, alright. They found it awesome.
only thing they learned is how to fuck people over. they are using that knowledge on us even now
That's true for Trump alright but what this hegseth guy is doing to the army and the Pentagon is more on the culture war side, no? I'm sure there's some corruption as well and of course groundwork for using the military domestically one day but it looks different from the corruption-first approach of Trump.
Just because he idolizes the nazi military doesn't mean he's a nazi. He is of course. But that's not why, everything else he does is why.
I'm not saying this image is generated, but it is at least a little bit weird that a reverse image search only shows this specific comparison. I even tried Google Images for a "Visual Match" instead of just Tineye, and nothing.
That, and Hitler's eyes look weird, and the folded Nazi flags in the back look garbled. Circumstantially, it'd be extremely fucking weird if whoever planned this layout put a plant obstructing the view of the symbol on the podium. And what the hell would that cut-off, stark white symbol at the bottom right be?
