FROM FOX NEWS: As the Trump administration conducts deadly strikes against alleged drug boats of narco-terrorists, War Secretary Pete Hegseth posted a meme depicting the children’s book series character Franklin firing a weapon at such a vessel.
“For your Christmas wish list…” Hegseth joked when sharing the fake book cover.
The meme shows the turtle character in a helicopter, firing what appears to be an RPG at one of the boats in the water below. The RPG fired by Franklin flies toward the vessel, where there is already an explosion occurring.
The title on the fake book cover declares: “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists.”

“There’s nothing Christian about war crimes,” former Rep. Justin Amash wrote in response to Hegseth’s post.
You’re a disgrace,” Senate candidate and current Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) wrote.
Another X user countered with their own book title, “Franklin Goes to The Hague,” home of the U.N.’s International Court of Justice.

Other users were more supportive of the message.
“Gotta teach them young. Secretary Hegseth gets it,” wrote one.
Another animated the image.
Have to have that “Ride of the Valkyries” soundtrack!
