Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brings Christian language into the Pentagon as the U.S. and Israel wage war against Iran.

Since becoming defense secretary, Pete Hegseth has found no shortage of ways to bring his strand of conservative evangelicalism into the Pentagon.

He hosts monthly Christian worship services for employees. His department’s promotional videos have displayed Bible verses alongside military footage. In speeches and interviews, he often argues the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation and troops should embrace God, potentially risking the military’s secular mission and hard-won pluralism.

Now the defense secretary’s Christian rhetoric has taken on new meaning after the U.S. and Israel went to war with Iran, an Islamic theocracy.

      You made a list. I was commenting on the list elements vs each other, not anything that wasn’t on the list. My comment was not intended to prove or disapprove any point since yours and mine were both opinions.

          Disagreement isn’t proof or disproof or even an attempt at such. At this time I’m completely lost as to your point. You didn’t say every structure, you made a list and I felt that one of those things was not like the others. That one of those things does have a unique form of evil attached to it. I really don’t understand why you’re trying to add more to this conversation than actually exists.
