Oh, the HORROR!

British tabloid says US Secretary of Defense wearing American flag is "controversial"

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

The dust-up about his pocket stuffer comes three days after he made headlines for a tattoo scripted in Arabic on his arm.

The tattoo spells out the word 'kafir', which in the Quran means 'disbeliever' or 'infidel'.

The article’s by Not the Bee’s Joel Abbott, so well worth reading and enjouing

Abbott: “Wait, wait, wait ... you're telling me that a guy who served in Iraq and Afghanistan has a super popular tattoo among U.S. Armed Forces who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“You're saying thousands upon thousands of our boys are controversial for proudly wearing the insults leveled at them by Islamic terrorists??”

Muslims immediately decried the tattoo as a sign of disrespect and bigotry.

That's right, the people who snidely call us infidels are the real victims here! 😂

But the worst of all?

Hegseth is a Christian (GASP!) who has tattoos to remind him that he is a Christian warrior who is bound by the faith, tradition, and history of Christian warriors.

Hegseth's 'kafir' seems to be the latest addition among at least a dozen tattoos he has said symbolize his American patriotism and Christian faith.

The words 'Deus Vult' right above it on his right inner arm is widely seen as a symbol of Christian nationalism.

Abbott:

"Deus Vult" is an ancient Christian saying in Latin that means "God wills it," in the same way that hundreds of millions of Muslims say "if God wills it" in Arabic (inshallah) every single day. The Latin motto refers to the Lord's Prayer ("Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven").

But you're supposed to think it's bad because Christians first used the motto in 1096 when they were trying to stop the mostly peaceful Muslim armies from raping and pillaging further into the Byzantine Empire.

FWIW: This caught my eye: apparently, the cleansing of the Pentagon is incomplete, and there are still Obamaites to be flushed out:

'The guy can't show up to a simple ceremony without p*****g off half the people in the building,' one Pentagon insider told the Daily Mail. 'This isn't tone deafness. This is outright aggression in terms of optics.'
