Nazi reichsadler + Spanish fascist arrow symbol.
Hegseth is a Hitler loving alcoholic who is actively ruining America and the world, but the eagle motif was present far before Nazis were a thing. Arrows are also a pretty universal symbol. I'm not saying you can't draw parallels, but it's not like he designed the seal.
Yeah the US was using eagle and fasci symbolism long before fascism was a thing, because fascists and the founding fathers were both Romaboos. Also before anyone says the founding fathers were fascists id argue they weren't simply because the fascism of their era was the absolute monarchies, they were assholes and hypocritical jackasses though.
Proto-fascists.
For instance, the reverse of the US quarter for quite a number of decades:
It's just that in this case they decided to stylize this one to make it look extra Hitlery.
The one behind him is actually specifically for the department of defense (he calls it war).
Ctrl+F blue seal on this page: https://www.war.gov/Brand-Guide/
He did initiate a rebranding, but the straight wings have been a feature of this seal since before his rebrand.
I'm not saying they created them, but I'm still not convinced at all that their use of fascist iconography is coincidental. The combination of symbols and presentation reeks of it. It's a dogwhistle like so much of what they do.
