Bong30 Reviewed by Bong30 on . It's conspiracy time!! Department of Defense seal... Take a look at the Department of Defense state seal and compare it to Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. You will notice the wings of an eagle spread all the way out and not just half way out as on our $1 dollar bill. This is typical of fascism and the eagle is holding arrows...and the roman style vine leaf thingy found on our fasces. a fasces is symbolic for power, especially in Roman Times. notice in the US House of Representatives the faces with the axe, which is similar to the Fascist Rating: 5
