That fucking drunk wouldn't have lasted two seconds on D-Day.

He's a neo-nazi. He's a fucking disgrace to all the soldiers that landed on that beach to destroy the very movement he's so proud to be a part of.

He has very war like views

Someone pointed out he doesn't call soldiers soldiers. He calls them war fighters. He's on a crusade and sees them as fighters for his cause.

Hegseth may not understand what D-Day was about

In a perplexing speech Saturday commemorating the World War II D-Day landings in Normandy, France, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called for European leaders to combat what he implied was a second, modern D-Day—in which European countries were being “stormed by different dangerous ideologies” accompanied by “boats and men.”

The original D-Day was the Allied invasion to liberate France from Nazi German domination: the defenders were Hitler’s National Socialists and their army, and the “dangerous ideology” was anti-fascism.

Hegseth may have been confused—or, then again, we might be at the stage where our government explicitly aligns us with Nazism. After all, every single refugee we admitted to the US this year was supposedly fleeing anti-white persecution.

As an American, I visited Normandy and the people there were very kind and welcoming to Americans. You've gotta be a huge fuck up for the people there not to like you.

Yeah, let's invite fascists to celebrate the victory over fascism. That should go well

In every single photo of that warmonger, he looks like an absolute douchebag.

Bravo to the residents of Langrune-sur-Mer. Who the fuck would want a racist Christian Nationalist sack of shit at a D-Day ceremony?

Hegseth drinks his own piss.

Yeah, well, having one of the biggest warmongering supporters of the present day equivalent of the NAZIs as their Genocide, on a D-Day celebration, would be a little wierd.

I confirm he's not welcome other days too

Hat tip, France. You've earned my respect once again.

Pound sand, SHITGET.

I got a good chuckle at this, thanks Op.

A message on the association’s website called for Hegseth’s visit to be cancelled on the grounds that the Pentagon chief “espouses values contrary to democracy, human rights and peace” and had made “numerous anti-European remarks”, “warlike statements” and “American supremacist pronouncements".

“The honor of Langrune, that of France, and the memory of the young Allied soldiers – American, British, Canadian – who died on our beaches in the name of democracy would dictate canceling this individual’s visit,” the statement concluded.

The good people of Langrune rock. Merci beaucoup!

The double standard of the US administration wanting to commemorate WW2 but not helping Ukraine is insane.

USA is a worthless ally, that only agrees to supply weapons to Ukraine at a 10% extra profit!
That's not being an actual ally, but simply profiteering on demand.
And then Trump is getting angry that Europe is building a stronger defense with minimal use of American weapons!

Congratulation to the French village for expressing how most Europeans feel towards USA now.
USA is a backstabbing rogue country working for Russia, and creating chaos in the world, with zero signs of attempting anything good.
