Hegseth: May almighty god continue to bless our troops in this fight. To the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ. To the troops, keep going and godspeed.

@Acyn Iran is praying harder to God. I’ve been to the Middle East; they pray constantly to God. Christians and Muslim’s all worship Abraham’s God. So they’re both praying to the same entity.

@Acyn I’ve never heard anything like this out of a government official. I’m a Christian, but I understand that we have a First Amendment and a constitution for a reason. This is grossly negligent and inappropriate.

@Acyn And send them intelligent leaders

@Acyn This is exactly why the founders were clear about church and state. You can support troops without turning it into a state-endorsed religion moment....

@Acyn Please, not the God is on our side because I doubt that he is. God don't like ugly. And the clown is Ugly.

@Acyn Complete Pharisee - a drunk adulterer narcissistic Pharisee

@Acyn Does it have to be Jesus Christ or can we pray for our troops as we wish? You know, freely.

@Acyn Fuck this Christian nationalist extremist bullshit. So done with this fake “Crusader” garbage from a guy that has a makeup studio and doesn’t want unflattering pictures of himself released.

Hey Christians rallying behind Pete Hegseth's war: Thou shalt not kill has an exception for indiscriminate bombing of civilians, right? Children don't count if they're in the wrong country, right? You've got a workaround for every other inconvenient commandment. I'm sure there's one for this too, right?

@Acyn I pray for their victims.

@Acyn Totally inappropriate and he knows it

@Acyn Why would God bless OUR troops? Why wouldn’t God bless ALL the troops and the innocent people dying? In fact, why wouldn’t God just bless everyone and AVOID wars all together? I’ll tell you why. There is no God. It’s painfully obvious, now, with all the horrors in this world.

@Acyn 🇮🇱👎👎

@Acyn And keep enlisting your MAGA sons and daughters. We'll give them a nice pine box when we're done with them.

@Acyn I'm so sick of wrapping war & other similar things in God, etc. Isn't that the complaint we always heard from these same people about Muslim extremists & Muslim regimes?

@Acyn May God protect our troops during these difficult times.

So this is probably a good moment to point out to ALL of the USA's non-Christians (including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, athiests, Universalists etc.) that MAGA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND DOES NOT EVEN CONSIDER YOU PART OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. There is no other interpretation of this ludicrous Christian Nationalist drivel. Keep that well in mind come November.

@Acyn “As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion” John Adams

@Acyn “Pray on bended knee,” says the guy who’s spent more time bending wedding vows than honoring them—and whose idea of “spirits” usually comes in a glass, not a sermon.

@Acyn Hopefully Jesus will give you a damn wake up call.

@Acyn Why are children being brought into this?

@Acyn God doesn’t exist

@Acyn oh, he's *that* kind of "christian" - the genocidal, Jim Jones kind

@Acyn My goodness! It must be an intensively high predicted loss for whatever's coming.

@Acyn XRISTOFASCIST just XRISTOFASCISTING , nowt to see here folks

@Acyn America is a secular nation. Hegseth should be driven out of all positions of power, preferably on a rail.

@Acyn All I hope for is that the troops come home as safe and as whole as possible from this bullshit. As for the war itself? The Christian god is nowhere near it.

@Acyn Why doesn't he go fight alongside the troops?

@Acyn Imagine losing your life for Puck from The Real World.
