Pete Hegseth is living in the wrong Century…..
The Crusades have been over for over 900 year ‘s…
America’s military should NOT be a force working to use violence to front Christianity across the planet….
The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, prayed during a religious service at the Pentagon that there be “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy”.
The Christian worship service, held on Wednesday before military and civilian workers at the Pentagon, was Hegseth’s first since the Iran war began, the Associated Press reported.
Hegseth called for violence during a prayer he said originated from a military chaplain and was given to troops after Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela, was captured by the US, the AP said.
“Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation,” Hegseth said in the prayer service. “Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”
The remarks came a day after Hegseth announced changes to the military’s chaplain corps, which he said in a video message had been “infected by political correctness and secular humanism” until they were “watered down” to be “nothing more than therapists” who focused more on “self-help and self-care” than faith or virtue….
…
Hegseth is member of a church affiliated with the Congregation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, founded by Doug Wilson, who self-identifies as a Christian nationalist and has himself led a session of the prayer service at the Pentagon.
Hegseth’s insertion of his Christian faith into his role has drawn criticism and legal complaints. Hegseth’s comments on the Iran war have included religious context – he said in a TV interview that the US was “fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon”…..

Street drunk…
They should give him a breath test before allowing him to speak.
That supposed “ church” he’s a member of?
Sounds like some con job to relieve right wing nut jobs of their money.
Street Drunk that has the nuclear ‘codes’ person in trails with him where ever he goes…..
And the ‘President’ isn’t ANY BETTER
Only the President can order a nuclear attack.
AND THAT Jack Should Worry us all……
Certainly
But your above post implied that the Sec. of Defense had access to the codes to launch a nuclear attack and that is factually incorrect.
Actually IT IS CORRECT…….
The President transmits HIS codes to the Sec of Defense who would authenticate the President’s codes to then send HIS codes to NORAD for action….
National Command Authority includes the President, VP, Sec of State and Sec of Defense….
The system HAS redundancy as a fail-safe
The simple point I was making is that only the President can authorize a nuclear attack contrary to your original post that implied the Sec. of Defense could do so.
“ authenticating “ is not the same as “ authorizing .”
Well?
The point I lay down in FACT is and decision HAS to initiate SEVERAL people with ‘codes’ to carry out such a monstrous order …..
AMEN……
