Remember the line in the 'Blues Brothers' about being on a mission from god?

Hegseth Invokes Divine Purpose to Justify Military Might​

More than any top American military leader in recent history, Mr. Hegseth has framed U.S. military operations in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America as bigger than politics or foreign policy. Often he has imbued these actions with a Christian moral underpinning that suggests they are divinely sanctioned.

It is this view of a higher power, married to lethal American firepower, that Mr. Hegseth says gives him confidence that the United States will prevail in Iran.

“Our capabilities are better. Our will is better. Our troops are better,” he said in a recent interview with CBS News’s “60 Minutes.” “The providence of our almighty God is there protecting those troops, and we’re committed to this mission.”

Hmmm. I guess god was on break when the 13 US soldiers died and approx. 200 were wounded during this "excursion." But hey, everybody needs some down time.

Not being a religious person it makes me squirm a bit when the protection of the cloud fairy is invoked..........really for any reason at all. Like when Don said god protected him from being shot and killed. Or even more disturbing, that he extended the life of a US congressman with a terminal condition. Not god, Don. Words can not express how batshyte crazy/scary it is that Don thinks he possesses divine powers. It's delusional. The kind of thing that gets people committed, not voted for.

In truth, god isn't protecting anyone and neither is allah. If either was the case Israel wouldn't be able to slaughter more people in Lebanon after killing tens of thousands in Gaza. There's nothing spiritual about blowing humans in to little pieces. Which is the part Pete doesn't acknowledge when speaking about the almighty.

Then, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing in the Pentagon, issued a call to the American people for a specific kind of wartime prayer. He asked them to pray for victory in battle and the safety of their troops.

“Every day, on bended knee, with your family, in your schools, in your churches,” he said, “in the name of Jesus Christ.”

C'mon, man. More like in the name of Bebe. Who has wanted a full scale war with Iran for decades and finally found a partner stupid and reckless enough to join him.

With the bulk of the Trumpfy cabinet a mixture of Jews and Zionists it is quite surprising to see how many publicly invoke the Space Aliens in their hours of need .

You all remember the legend of the old man hiding behind some rocks when they stopped for a toilet break at the top of a mountain .
The old man kept a roll of their toilet paper and worshipped the words printed on it -- Wash hands immediately .
They have never since stopped rubbing their hands .

Can't Iran use the proceeds of selling oil to buy military arms, thwarting god's plan of protecting US troops? One he isn't doing too well so far.

U.S. allows 30-day sale of Iran oil at sea in bid to tame prices​

The waiver will bring some 140 million barrels of oil to global markets and help relieve pressure on energy supply, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

If we take Kharg island Iran can't load any more oil.
No more oil means no more revenue.
No more revenue means no more weapons or pay for its military

U.S. allows 30-day sale of Iran oil at sea in bid to tame prices​

We allowed Iran to sell the oil already on ships to ease the oil shortage, no big deal.


ever notice this line?

It's logical to believe Russia is using the $150M a day it is getting from trump's decision to lift sanctions on their oil to help kill Ukrainians. Perhaps god is too busy protecting US troops to worry about women and children in Ukraine.

Invoking God during a war has been done by nearly every American military leader since G. Washington.

Isn't it times they gave you a vacation?

If we take Kharg island Iran can't load any more oil.

Then what? Take permanent possession of the island? Is Don willing to risk a mass casualty event after saying he wouldn't put "boots on the ground?" Wait........sorry........god has our backs.

God seems to be allowing Ukraine's drone operators to protect Ukraine adequately.

Do you see a difference between asking the cloud fairy for help as many people do when they are frightened and stating “The providence of our almighty God is there protecting those troops."

Is god protecting Ukraine or are the operators? Are you saying god is guiding the drones like he guided the bullet fired at the Orange Messiah?

Then what? Then Iran runs out of money. Then what?
What mass casualty event? If Kharg island is destroyed Iran is dead.
You keep rooting for the wrong side.
Democrats are godless commie traitors.
No wonder no one wants to vote for them, the lowest approval in history...

If you want to debate/discuss God, put in a thread in the "Religion and Ethics" discussion.

LOL. It is the other side you chants, "Death to America" and "God Willing".

Don't you think Iran will try to defend their country from an invasion?

I don't blame you for not wanting to discuss Don's belief his life was saved by god. Perhaps because you believe it.
