With the Iran war, Hegseth's agenda tests religious freedom in ranks. Freedom is something that tRump and Hegseth don’t believe in at all. Fascism runs deep with these two pieces of crap.
Experts and former military chaplains said there have long been debates over religious freedom in the military, but that tensions over such issues have risen amid Hegseth's efforts to promote his own personal type of Christian Reconstruction. This will be very dangerous for the rest of us, as we see many theocracies are just fascist dictatorships.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation said it received more than 200 complaints from service members amid the Iran war that raised concerns about superiors' Christian nationalist sentiments.
Hegseth's more narrow vision for religion in the military echoes the Trump administration's widespread efforts to boost religion's presence in the public square. Neither of these men is a true Christian. Their actions speak louder than their words, and we all know they are both taking us down the road of no return.
The most serious allegations against Pete Hegseth, involve mismanagement, heavy drinking, infidelity, sexual harassment, and even rape. He hasn’t changed and still abuses women.
Hegseth denies the allegations but also claims that because of Jesus, he’s a “changed man.” The roots of Hegseth’s version of Christianity warrant closer examination. Christian Reconstruction is where he wants to take us. It holds deeply conservative views about the family, roles for women, and how religion and politics are related. There will be no separation of church and state, just fascist overseeers that tell you what we can do.
The followers of the movement seek to make America a Christian nation, by which they mean a nation built on biblical law, including its prohibitions and punishments. Again, just fascist overseeers that tell you what you can do.
Christian Reconstructionists want to dismantle public education and replace modern ideas about family with a patriarchal family model because they claim that biblical law requires both. They believe that Old Testament biblical law applies to today’s society and to everyone, whether or not they are Christian. For them, all of life is religious; there is no separation between religion and politics. Talk about wanting to control us.
There is no way we can ever let this happen.
The United States' war in Iran has heightened existing concerns among some service members about the influence of Christian nationalism on the military under Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth's leadership. This is so un-American!
NetanTHEyahu and Trump's play date is leading us down a road that will bring nothing but misery. We will be morally and financially bankrupt under these leaders' leadership.
We began carrying out joint strikes with Israel on Feb. 28 that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. At least 1,230 people had been killed in Iran as of March 5, along with scores of other deaths around the Middle East.
