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.
This general idea does seem to fit with what was shown to former Atheist and near death experiencer Howard Storm back in 1985.
[Howard Storm] :
The Future of the United States
Howard Storm recorded how his light being friends told him, in 1985, that the Cold War would soon end, because, “God is changing the hearts of people to love around the world.”
Storm states, “Since the time in 1985 when I was told these things about the future the Cold War ended with little bloodshed due to the hearts of people being unwilling to tolerate oppressive regimes.”
Storm described what the light beings told him concerning the way things will be on Earth in about 2185.
He asked the light beings the question, “Will the United States be the leader of the world in this change?”
The light beings replied, “The United States has been given the opportunity to be the teacher for the world, but much is expected of those to whom much has been given. The United States has been given more of everything than any country in the history of the world and it has failed to be generous with the gifts.
