    On Wednesday, while speaking at a Pentagon prayer service, he called for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy,” asking that “wicked souls” be “delivered to the eternal damnation” in the fight against Iran, a Muslim-majority nation.

    Some senior military commanders seem to have followed his lead, with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a watchdog organization, saying it has received more than 200 complaints from service members that their superiors had told troops it was all part of God’s plan that they be deployed to Iran.

      If there is a God, Hegseth, and a lot of these goulish jokers, are going to be real fucking surprised to learn who those “wicked souls” actually belonged to in the end.

    Yeah that’s what the US needs, crusades. Those have never ended badly …

    Who’d have thought that the idiot with crusader tattoos would turn out to be a psychopath crusader wannabe.

      It’s faith

      Faith is the belief in something, without evidence, or in the face of contradictory evidence

      That’s why it doesn’t deserve respect

        This right here is why I can never trust a “Christian scientist”

        You cannot convince me that your findings in anything are unbiased when you believe in something with no evidence.

        As a person of faith, you would not abandon your faith if presented with evidence that says your god doesn’t exist, you would abandon science and simply ignore it, or worse hide/sabotage it.

        That asshole doesn’t believe, nor does he give a shit if others do.

        He only cares about conformity of the motions people go through.

        If this was about faith, your points would be valid, but it’s even worse than that. It’s faith theater.
