Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, May 04, 2025

An official Pentagon X account faced widespread mockery Friday after posting an AI-generated image of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who notably had only three fingers on one of his hands. The image, seemingly intended to promote Hegseth's control over the Defense Department, quickly drew attention for its glaring error.

Yesterday, DoD released an AI-generated image venerating the leadership and strength of Pete Hegseth. Of course, there were problems, including the three fingers on one hand, but it doesn't really matter how many fingers there are because the Party will tell you how many there are.

... Some pointed out Hegseth was on the wrong side of the border fence, while others also noted an American flag in the image was missing crucial Stars and Stripes. ...

Yeah ...

Sec Hegseth's Defense Dept showed a flag that was (I'll be kind) erroneous in the number of stars and stripes.

And why is Sec Hegseth pictured on the ~other side of the border fence~ from the (misrepresented) Flag?

And then there is that four-finger thing.

OK, I have to ask, does this encourage confidence in Sec Hegseth's leadership of the Defense Dept?

This appears to e Sec Hegseth's Depart of Defense.

Stated differently, if he cannot even get the American Flag in this image correctly, what is he doing to the defense of the Country?

Or is Sec Hegseth more concerned upon how he looks on TV and social media (can you say, "make up studio?" I knew you could) to have an interest in the defense of the Country?

Can we be sure that Pete didn't get drunk and shoot off a finger?

My advice to Sec Hegseth ...

Lyrics excerpt (as if the title was not enough ...)

...
[Verse 1]
Don't you ever think of me
When you're outside strolling
Don't you ever wave the flag
When we're rockin' and rollin'

[Refrain]
Don't ---- where you eat, my friend

[Verse 2]
Who said it was hard to climb
A peak that you can't see
I tell you it's an easy thing
When it's you and me

[Refrain]
But don't ---- where you eat, my friend
...

This looks just like a Soviet era propaganda poster.

Drunk Heggy was seeing double and thought the star count was fine.
