I donât speak French, but I think this means the people in Normandy didnât like Hegsethâs speech. You have be be a pretty colossal dipshit to screw up a D-Day commemoration ceremony.

(22,460 posts)He has no business talking about things like that. It's not place.
He also, no doubt, reminds the elderly French who still remember those days of the very Nazis that brutalized their country (with the blessing of many in the French upper class).
And save for the fact that he doesn't speak a word of German, Hogshit must remind them of said Nazis physically, ideologically, and in any number of other ways.
