Pete Hegseth Breaks Norms Invoking Faith in Wartime

“U.S. military leaders have long understood the power and perils of invoking faith — especially in wartime,” the Washington Post reports.

“But those longtime norms are being upended by the proselytizing Christian campaign of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, say multiple former high-ranking military officials and experts on religion and law. Rather than boosting cohesion through a more universal spiritual uplift, they say, the new approach violates the Constitution and undermines the bonds of mutual respect between troops that are essential, especially in wartime.”
