US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday travelled to Normandy to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the World War II D-Day landings.
But after making a speech at the American military cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, he conspicuously skipped afternoon’s main international ceremony marking the anniversary of the Allied landings, which helped herald the end of World War II.
His presence was not missed by some residents of the village hosting the ceremony, Langrune-sur-Mer, who said the US official was not welcome there.
“He has very warlike views and it seems to us that this man does not share our democratic values,” Sylvie Lamy Thepaut, a member of the municipal association Langrune en commun, told BFM TV.
Hegseth may not understand what D-Day was about
A lethal combination of both malice and stupidity. The US education system is a complete failure.
A personal anecdote, I grew up in NY and was barely taught about the War of 1812. It wasn’t until I moved to Canada that I learned anything about it, at which point it became very obvious why we weren’t taught jack shit.

The way he put it (that “Europe should combat a second D-Day”) is a pretty strong indication that he sees things from the NAZI perspective rather than the Allied one.
WHY HAS EVERY JOURNALIST COMPLETELY ABDICATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES?!
For fuck sake he’s not fucking confused, he’s a fucking racist Nazi. Openly.
Men? Boats? Dangerous ideologies?
That’s like three of his favorite things.
Hooooly…
Who controls the past now, controls the future.
Who controls the present now, controls the past.
Rewriting history to align with their ideologies with mind-blowing mental gymnastics.
