He's one of those religious right kooks. Thinks the crusades were a good time.
And he's not still in the Guard. He got out after his tattoo prevented him from working at the 2020 nomination. He wrote about it in his book, although he said it was his cross tattoo, not the Deus Vult one which raised concerns.
“It was the strangest feeling, like my foundations had shifted — leaving me out of balance,” Hegseth wrote. The D.C. Guard “turned their back on me. The message was clear: you are not wanted here. So, I resigned. On Jan. 20, 2021, I drafted the letter. F*** Biden anyway.”
If one thing's clear about Hegseth, it's that Muslims better watch out.
In the 2020 social media post showing the close-up of his bicep, the one that Akers found and that made its way to the D.C. National Guard, Hegseth wrote that a book he had just published would make the meaning clear.
In the book, “American Crusade,” Hegseth ties his belief in an existential struggle over America’s “native” and “Judeo-Christian” culture to the Crusades, writing that Christians, along with their “Jewish friends and freedom-loving people everywhere,” must fight back against secularism, leftism, globalism and Muslim immigration.
“See you on the battlefield,” he writes in closing out the book. “Together, with God’s help, we will save America. Deus vult!”
