“We’re fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon,” Hegseth said of Iranian leaders. “But from my perspective, I mean, obviously I’m a man of faith who encourages our troops to lean into their faith, rely on God.”

i believe more that he is a man of spirits than faith.

Just call it like it is. This is a crusade, just not sanctioned by the pope this time.

So we have American Christian zealots and Israeli Jewish zealots together fight Iranian Muslim zealots.

Meanwhile the rest of the world just watches this circus of idiots and wonders how we ever ended up here

A fake christian who just uses it to manipulate. I'm not christian but I recognize a manipulator and the soft brained snowflakes who blindly follow anyone making the right grunts and hoots of their faith.

That guy is anything but christian...

Wait, is the "Secretary of War" admitting it's a war?

Pete Kegsbreath is as Christian as Kenneth Copeland... which is to say exactly nill. It's a facade. They're both exactly opposite of Christian.

Anti-Christ.

....and he sayeth unto them, "fight no more, you are brothers" was apparently lost on the lowly maggotty species of humanity...

You’re drunk, Hegseth.

Whenever I hear some "leader" start extolling any religious nonsense, I immediately conclude that they are either a lying conman, or have a lukewarm IQ. There can't be any in between.

Religion is a mental illness and by far the greatest threat humanity is facing.

It's pretty incredible how the promise of eternal paradise after death turns people into utter shit lords.

Its the new Crusades, it's a Holy war for the Holy oil.

Hegseth is "Christian" the way Olive Garden is "Italian."

Shouldn't it? There's no denying there's at least a little bit of a christofascist imperialist aspect to a dude with "Deus vult" and Jerusalem cross tattoos and thoughts that leftists, progressives, and Democrats are the "enemies" of freedom and the US Constitution, and that there are irreconcilable differences between the Left and the Right in America.
