Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of âsuperficial individual expressionâ by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

A village in France, 1095...
There's been a meeting of Catholic Church officials... the Pope, Urban II goes outside in the crisp cool weather and addresses a crowd of thousands...
They raised a thundering roar, repeating "Deus Vult, Deus Vult"
He rallies the attendees to march across the continent towards the Mediterranean with the target set on Jerusalem to kill the Muslim invaders.
He tells the crowd that God Wills It... and all sin will be forgiven to those who fight and die for the cause
On the route, the Crusaders conducted themselves poorly, killing Jew and European alike before even reaching the Levant
Now think about this...
When you're getting this tattoo... that's what you're representing. You're identifying yourself as an extremist willing to kill for your beliefs.
Poor choice?
