One of the comment actually brought a good point
Assuming (for the sake of the argument), he didn't know the totenkopf is a Nazi symbol, watching a WW2 movie must have been awkward
Kinda funny too for a someone in the military for so long- may as well be saying he doesn’t know the insignia for a colonel , or that Mac and cheese crayons don’t actually taste like Mac and cheese. I don’t buy it for a second, so he’s either a bad liar or wildly unintelligent even by military standards. Not even saying that precludes him from office -there are so many venues in the US for incompetent liars to succeed; just don’t be so obvious. Anyway I’m sure he’ll land on his feet, this is America after all
Oh he knew for sure, he deflected as best he could (not very)
Which was enough for a lot of people apparently...
Like my spouse regularly says, “If only I had the unjustified confidence of a highly mediocre white man”. You don’t gotta hand it to him, but I admire the social experiment of seeing how much people are willing to ignore/compromise. (Seriously…I’m still hung up on the fucking blackwater part. But there are way too many americans who have already memory holed that, and act like I’m a crazy military-historian for remembering basic-ass things)
