Holy GaryHart, Batman.
In 2017, word got out that Hegseth was having an affair with fellow married colleague Jennifer Rauchet. Rumors had been swirling for quite a while that something untoward was going on between the two, and it was finally confirmed when Rauchet gave birth to her and Hegseth's child that year. He was still married to his second wife, Samantha Deering, when the baby was born, but divorce proceedings quickly followed within the same month.
"The phrase 'Deus Vult' is associated with Supremacist groups in which White-Supremacist use of #DeusVult and a return to medieval Catholicism is to invoke the myth of a white Christian medieval past that wishes to ignore the actual demographics and theological state of Catholicism today,"
Christian values writ large, white nationalist tats, what's not to like?

“Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden has a message for critics of Trump's Defense Secretary pick Pete Hegseth
SNIP
Robert O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who killed terrorist Osama bin Laden in 2011, told DailyMail.com that Hegseth is a 'fantastic choice.'”
“And one main reason why is because he's never been dragged into the D.C. political 'swamp.'
'He is a mid-level officer who has been to Afghanistan and Iraq on combat tours, worked with the National Guard in DC and played basketball at Princeton,' said O'Neill.
'He knows the soldiers and how a team works and really knows how to push himself. He is not part of the good-old-boy network and has never been part of the swamp.'”

Dig deeper, LM.
The rest of the team says Robert O'Neill is a disgrace to the unit; a liar who pumped 2 rounds into BinLadens lifeless form after the point man had already shot him.
"According to another SEAL, O'Neill merely walked over to the immobile al-Qaeda leader and shot him twice in the head. The Intercept said that both O'Neill's and Bissonnette's accountings of the mission "contain multiple self-serving falsehoods.""
Further: "Rear Admiral Brian L. Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci said of O'Neills claims- "At Naval Special Warfare's core is the SEAL ethos A critical tenant of our ethos is 'I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.' Our ethos is a life-long commitment and obligation, both in and out of the service. Violators of our ethos are neither teammates in good standing, nor teammates who represent Naval Special Warfare."
O'Neill sounds like a real Fox guy, like his buddy festooned with white christian nationalist ink.
Your kinda guys?

One of the few things I know about Navy SEALS is that they don’t talk about their missions.
So anyone who is even acknowledging that they were part of the bin Laden attack is immediately suspect. And to go further and brag that you were the one who took the shot is even worse.
I have no idea if his claims are true or not. But just making them is a demonstration of poor judgement and abandonment of core SEAL principles.
So why would I pay attention to him on any topic? He’s either an outright liar or, if telling the truth, is breaking the trust of his fellow SEALS and all of those serving in the military.

I tend to agree with you but going with my own observations, aside from Hegseth personal life and occupation, the passion Pete Hegseth has shown I believe him to be a patriot who supports and loves his Country. Hegseth’s military record and awards are testimony to his character and qualities to serve as secretary of defense.
I agree with Hegseth wanting to purge the military of “woke generals” and DEI programs.
