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

[Seymour Flops]

Hegseth couldn't lick Washington's shitty boots.

What is the difference between G. Washington invoking God and Pete Hegseth?

Just admit it's your TDS again, it's not like that's unknown to anyone.

 

[berg80]

Allah is not helping Iran at all. That is the message Americans need.

Superstitious people have been claiming that their god is better than other's gods for centuries. It's not new.

TDS is a fiction created to de-legitimize legitimate criticism of trump.

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.

LOL Your cult leaders took a knee for George frigging Floyd, but you melt down when Hegseth says a prayer for our soldiers in battle.

For God's sake, you're criticizing Hegseth for saying a prayer for our soldiers in battle. TDS on steroids.

...prayer before battle is a long standing American tradition.

Reminds me more of the line from "Joe Dirt"...
“Oh, all right! Enough, you broken record! Okay!”

 

[Hellbilly]

This is who they are. They hate america and the constitution.

Feel free to give me a reason to love a country that committed genocide on Indigenous people.

Superstitious people have been claiming that their god is better than other's gods for centuries. It's not new.

A clear dismissal of the Muslims Allah. God and Jesus are the actual gods that creation talks about.

 

[Robert W]

Yes we do. Very much. As well as the rest of the Founding Fathers.

I often in the past compared Washington to Jefferson Davis. Washington overthrew a lawful government and had hundreds of slaves. Still, I like Washington.

 

[berg80]

You admire that slave owner a lot, don't you?

I'm going to throw you a softball question even a MAGAist can't get wrong. Who has contributed more to the betterment his country, Washington or Hegseth?

 

[Frankeneinstein]

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

sure, if they have the means, but what would be the worst/best they could do? I think they would even use nukes if they had them, in fact I am sure we would have felt them by now.

 

[berg80]

Take your belief in fairy tales and spew it somewhere else.

 

[Robert W]

Hegseth never overthrew his government. Hegseth did not play a role where many Americans died. So, who do you think?

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Who has contributed more to the betterment his country, Washington or Hegseth?

the big G of course...[only hillary contributed more by not contributing at all]...Now your turn...
hegseth or robert byrd...you remember hillary's "mentor" I'm sure...a lifetime senator, hillary "mentor", white liberal klansman]...easy answer, but hard to admit.

 

[berg80]

You are asserting there is no difference. Prove it.

I think you're a brainwashed moron.

Hegseth is clearly referencing Genesis 49:23.

Were they indigenous? The natives warred and fought, murdered, pillaged, just like we do today. They're not special.
