If the Hot Hurricane Cop taught us anything, it's that one should always be wary of openly thirsting over authority figures like the police or the military, lest they turn out to be anti-semitic, racist, or bigoted in some way that turns them into a milkshake duck.
Liberal author and activist Jill Filipovic learned this the hard way this week when she stumbled upon pictures of admittedly sexy-looking Spanish soldiers in tight uniforms with deep v-necks exposing their chest.
Spain is deploying its army to help manage their coronavirus outbreak and not to be insensitive at an anxiety-inducing time but uh… I think I speak for all New Yorkers when I say, Spain, hi, can you deploy some of that in our direction? We will comply with your orders. pic.twitter.com/LyxIPsGu3g

Unfortunately for Ms. Filipovic (and others who took to ogling the men), these soldiers are the Spanish Legion, aka The Bridegrooms of Death, a militia raised in 1920s Spain for its colonialist endeavors that later fought for Spanish fascist Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War. This fact was all-too-eagerly pointed out by Twitter users.
this is the Spanish Legion, who were developed as a colonial army and in which Franco was a leader. they’re known as the “Bridegrooms of Death.”
we do not want military/police response to this crisis full stop. https://t.co/ZJ5up7XGk9— jes 3:16 (@modernistwitch) March 23, 2020
Spanish Legion, the only reputation they had was for murdering civilians under Franco
