Pete Hegseth Turns Franklin the Turtle Into Killing Machine in X Post

Watch out! The Department of War’s newest goal is all of our childhoods … Pete Hegseth turned beloved kids’s e-book character Franklin the Turtle right into a bloodthirsty killing machine in an A.I.-generated pic posted Sunday.

Pete captioned the put up, “For your Christmas wish list…” together with a faux e-book cowl titled, “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists.”

The bogus cowl depicts the 6-year-old turtle from the animated sequence going “Full Metal Jacket” — hanging out of a helicopter, fortunately firing a missile at a manned boat whereas sporting a U.S. army vest. No signal of Franklin’s finest buddy, Bear … perhaps he is storming the Capitol.

Pete — reportedly a 45-year-old man, although you could not inform from his X account — made the put up following a report he ordered operatives to “kill everybody” on a Venezuelan boat, which was allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean on September 2.

According to The Washington Post, the boat was struck twice to adjust to Pete’s alleged order.

Former army lawyer Todd Huntley advised the publication killing any of the boys within the boats “amounts to murder” as a result of we’re not in a professional struggle with them … and that if the alleged traffickers weren’t capable of struggle, killing them could also be thought-about “a war crime.”
