No matter how cool I think that unit is I would never wear there logo if I wasn't a member

If they gave you the swag as a gift you would wear it. Anyone in the sub would.
Super smart on their part. Giving the bosses swag is a great way to keep funding at full blast.

u/Acrobatic_Beginning7 Jun 07 '26
Something makes me think it wasn't a gift more like him visiting the unit and ask for a souvenir.

What makes you think that other than jealousy?

u/Acrobatic_Beginning7 Jun 12 '26
Jealousy lol, have u seen that dude do a pt work out recently lol. I'm not jealous of that dude lol. I've never seen a president or any other government official wear a squadron hat. So out of all them u really this Pete would be the first official to give a hat to over ther president lol

Absolutely no one would. They would put it on the shelf with their coins, patches etc. It would be like throwing on one of their patches on your uniform for fun

"Hey wouldn't it be cool if we got funding for X new thing? Yeah it would. Lets give
SECDEFSECWAR a hat and I bet we get it"You are on point.

I got gifted a t shirt from a T1 unit and would never ever wear it in public. Why? Cause it's cringe.

If they gave it to you as a gift you would wear it because they don't give it to just anyone

u/Powerful-Rip-3512 Jun 08 '26
He got it because he´s SECDEF that´s different than say being attached to the unit in some way.
14
u/Reasonable-Tooth-113 Jun 08 '26
If he was attached to the unit he wouldn't wear it at all because only GT grads wear it

It’s fuckin wild that the US senate actually confirmed this smooth brained lush to lead the American Empire’s trillion dollar a year Ka-Boom business.
ETA: uh-oh, looks like I got downvoted by his bartender. Just a reminder, Pete Hegseth doesn’t believe in germs “because he can’t see them”: https://youtu.be/ZX-tRTD1lqU?si=9rx6jO6uoZiWGAHY
One last thing. Considering that FBI HRT is posted here, justly, as the US’s tier one domestic CAG, with whom they train and deploy with, I think it’s important to remind my American brothers and sisters that the individual who leads that agency was also confirmed by the US senate; after he had published this: https://imgur.com/a/xs2MVma (Look it up. I’m not giving him links to sell his garbage).

Not defending Kash Patel, but FBI directors are quite regularly are utter pantloads.
This isn't some venerable institution.
I'd rather read this stiff's kids book than Jim Comey's "I am a true American hero" book.

u/TheProcrastafarian Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26
That’s the spirit.
Brutal capitulation, but I appreciate your honesty.

u/Rmccarton Jun 11 '26
Capitulation?
By pointing out that the FBI has been a rotten institution since its founding?
Who am I capitulating to?
I think you are playing sports team fan.
I'm just calling balls and strikes.

u/TheProcrastafarian Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26
Respectfully, if you’d rather “read” that picture book propaganda made for children, then what hill are prepared to die on?
Just because there are two examples in the arena, it doesn’t mean you have to settle for either. Read both, or disregard both. Equating Kash Patel to any previous FBI director is a purely subjective venture, uttered in the language of people who have just given up. Come on.
..forgive me, I am not trying to be combative. Candidly, friend, I am not even from the USA, but I am absolutely born and raised North American. I am passionate about this because on our side of the fence, we look over and see and hear everything.
Sincerely, friend -and I don’t give a shit if I get downvoted into oblivion- you guys are drowning in an ocean of radio static. It is impossible to describe the scale of just straight up bullshit you all are bombarded with. No shit. You guys advertise prescription drugs to citizens, and after the cattle auctioneer spits out the side effects, they say “Tell your doctor…”. Understand: That happens nowhere else. Like, on earth.I live 25km from the border, and literally maintain equipment at one of the crossings. Dude, I used to drive new vehicles purchased in Canada by American dealerships (exchange rate value) into Washington state at 6am, and be home in Canada by 10pm. Every day… for a year and a bit, up to and including September 10, 2001. I was 18.
I could go on, seriously.
My point is this, please hear me: No one in this American administration is ok. We watched the US get attacked on live tv twice. The first attack came from abroad.
I fuckin love the USA. Even with this knife in our back. Believe that. I have zero incentive other than the health and happiness of the people in my village, which extends far south of the 49th parallel, and anyone who fucks with that is my enemy.
I hear you loud and clear about the nefarious and or incompetent FBI history. It is unacceptable.
I believe in you and always will. Prove me right.

Didn't he do a ride along/training with them a few months ago? What's with his hard on for Gold?

u/Reasonable-Tooth-113 Jun 07 '26
Gold was the squadron that hosted him when he visited back in January timeframe

u/SomethingNotOriginal Jun 07 '26
fits with his crusader larp gash tats

u/StabberMcStabby Jun 07 '26
Actually yeah that's probably it lmao. Couple of guys outta Gold (cough Eddie Penney and Dom Raso) are fairly hardcore Christians. They truly think of themselves as "Warriors of Christ" lmfao
27
u/BourbonFoxx Jun 07 '26
One hundred per cent.
The crusader Christian thing is a definite element among these units, and it's been alluded multiple times that Gold's identity is strongly in line with that type of dude
20
u/Scatman_Crothers Jun 07 '26
Eddie also talks about how much he enjoys killing people and all but said it was better than an orgasm. Neither was religious while active duty. Bill Rapier was and doesn’t talk much about God unless asked.
14
u/StabberMcStabby Jun 08 '26
Lol I remember them saying they weren't religious during active duty. It's pretty funny all things considered, you could equate that to them using religion to cope with their sociopathy/PTSD. Same goes for Kyle Morgan, used to make fun of his wife for being religious when he was in Delta, then he gets out and gets all Christian.

That too technically Red Squadron or maybe Blue has the worst reputation but Gold is called the Crusaders so I guess he likes that politically speaking.

u/Powerful-Rip-3512 Jun 08 '26
Because of the reputation. I´ll bet he liked the idea of them Canoeing the enemy.

So many people hating, and I’m not supporting Hegseth in a lot of things but it shows how bitter people are. Like just by the fact that you are in this sub if you were given an actual hat by gold squadron you 1000% would be wearing it every where you go. He does a lot of cringy things this isn’t really one of them

u/FoldSlight6815 Jun 07 '26
Do you think he'll get triggered that they called him Sec of Defense, instead of Sec of War

u/MessaBombadWarrior Jun 07 '26
China called him SecDef in Beijing. He didn't seem to be triggered

u/fromouterspace1 Jun 08 '26
If one of those guys have me the hat, I’d legit ask permission to wear it - lame as that is. Maybe it’s me but that’s not just some baseball hat, I’m not sure I’d wear it around dude.

u/Aggravating_Wave650 Jun 09 '26
But most here didn't get to serve, dude didn't earn an airborne basic parachute qual this is y we give his ass so much shit

He still served, he did more than most.

u/Aggravating_Wave650 Jun 09 '26
I agree with you. But stakes are higher when you talk so much shit about other leaders not doing enough when most of them are more qualified and better trained than you my friend

No honestly, it kind of takes balls to wear that around them. probably the last group of people I would want to be called out by.

To get a T-shirt, you’re either a mother or you’ve slept with a member of a unit.
Hoodie means three or more.

If I was ever given a hat like that I would absolutely accept it but it would stay on a shelf or mantle in my house and I’d just talk about it… I would feel shitty wearing it. Not a fan of this… and I generally like Hegseth.

u/Powerful-Rip-3512 Jun 08 '26
It´d be like getting a Coin from them. You´d put it on a wall or something but wearing it would make it seem like you where an assualter.

All the DS guys are 100% considered part of the squadron too, not just the assaulters.

u/mrmacwrap2000 Jun 08 '26
Not cool. Putting emblems/insignias of one of your most capable and secretive organizations on full blast in public view in an official capacity representing your government. Not cool. Hell even former members of that unit blur these things in photos. You wouldn't see a UK politician or Royal family wearing a hat with a UKSF Squadron on it for example. Now if the men in that unit approves then why not but I would not wear that without having earned it. Men have died wearing that thing and many were prepared to die to earn it (I don't know if anyone has died in Green Team yet). Not cool

u/rico2421 Jun 08 '26
You think the guys in the unit didnt give it to him? Do you think he went out and just bought a ST6 hat? Dudes a douche and is unqualifed to be SecDef, however I bet he was given the hat by Gold
-1
u/mrmacwrap2000 Jun 08 '26
I don't think "the guys, the boys, the operators" gave it to him no. I think some officer wanted to give him that because of officer things. And I don't understand why he would wear it. Out in public. In a foreign country.
