Pete Hegseth isn't just an unqualified Fox host. He's a tradcath cult member who thinks he's fighting the Crusades

Pete Hegseth isn’t just an unqualified Fox host. He’s a tradcath cult member who thinks he’s fighting the Crusades—who will be in the nuclear chain of command.
This guy helming the most lethal force in history is a national security extinction event.

It looks like he's some variation on the usual evangelical fundamentalist Protestant sectarianism, which makes sense since he's from Minnesota and has a Norwegian background. (He probably started out a Lutheran). However, he has all the trappings of the radtrads tattooed on him, including the Jerusalem Cross. He also has one of those "Don't Tread" (Gadsden Flag) snakes on one of his arms, which is a favorite of the Gravy Seals (aka Meal Team Six, Custard's Last Stand, etc.).
I predict a conversion to radtrad-ism in the near future, possibly after getting caught fathering another out-of-wedlock kid.
