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.

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

You’re full of shit.

Hey, remember in the Blues Brothers when Jake and Ellwood were in that fancy restaurant and Jake said to the family,

"How much for the little gurl?"

Man that was so prescient a prediction of all the Democrats who maintained their close ties with Jeffrey Epstein long after he was in trouble with the law for his traficking of children.

Wow. Sometimes movies are a great guide to politics!

From AI........Based on a review of the Justice Department's "Epstein files" the name Donald Trump, along with related terms (such as Melania, Mar-a-Lago, and associated properties), appeared in more than 5,300 separate files, with over 38,000 total references across the millions of pages released.

Including a file containing an accusation by a 13 year old girl that she gave trump a BJ.

GFY.

Yes, that accusation was one of the more realistic ones.

A 13 year old laughed at the old man forcing her to give a blowjob.

What was the name of the FBI agent who claimed that he took that statement?

We have photographs of Bill Clinton getting a "massage" from one of Epstein's kids. We have a comestained dress from the twenty year old intern he pressured to give him blowjob after blowjob while not even being paid.

 

[toobfreak]

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

So says the Tard whose threads are 97% about ripping on Trump over anything, who has now created 990 threads bashing Trump.

Some complaining about stuff Donald won't even do yet until his next life.

BTW, obviously the fact that the DOJ released that absurd accusation against the POTUS shows that they are holding back nothing that they should not hold back. Meanwhile, your party's Autopen Administration released none of it. So you can stop your phony whining about the DOJ "protecting pedophiles." That's your party.

 

[ThisIsMe]

In your head what does the freedom to worship have to do with Hegseth...........Often he has imbued these actions with a Christian moral underpinning that suggests they are divinely sanctioned.

He has the right to believe that Gods hand is protecting the troops.

Bill Clinton isn't the prez and his DoJ is not in violation of the law he signed (trump did) requiring the government to release all the Epstein files.

trumples constant attempts to deflect attention away from the serial sexual abuser known as the Orange Messiah are hopelessly pathetic.

 

[berg80]

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

In his addresses to the troops, George Washington would bring up the imagery of violence not as a spectacle to be enjoyed but as horrors to be endured — from “mercenary hirelings fighting in the cause of lawless ambition, rapine and devastation” to those who wished to keep revolutionary America in “bondage and misery.” And when news of British atrocities reached him, Washington wrote that “their wanton cruelty injures rather than benefits their cause; that, with our forbearance, justly secures to us the attachment of all good men.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/opinion/trump-iran-war-memes.html

In a stark juxtaposition, Hegseth excitedly talks about ignoring past rules of engagement and killing as many people as possible. If that includes civilians, as it did when a US bomb killed 160 school girls..........oh well.

Jefferson Davis also said what Washington said when he struggled for freedom.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Bill Clinton isn't the prez and his DoJ is not in violation of the law he signed (trump did) requiring the government to release all the Epstein files.

The law also required redactions and withholding of certain documents.

trumples constant attempts to deflect attention away from the serial sexual abuser known as the Orange Messiah are hopelessly pathetic.

What was the name of the FBI agent who claims that he took that statement about the 13 year old girl forced to give Donald Trump a blowjob?

Why did the Biden DOJ/FBI not prosecute Trump for that forced blowjob?

Why did they protect a pedophile if there is any truth to that accusation?

When muslims yell Aloha Snackbar before blowing themselves up and taking innocent people with them, are they on a mission from God?

No, they think they are on a mission to get laid.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Remember that character in "Blues Brothers" played by Carrie Fisher who was so obsessed with Jake Blues that she couldn't stop thinking about him and trying to kill him?



Today that is nearly every Democrat and "not Democrat" on this forum, and in real life.

 

[ColonelAngus]

No, they think they are on a mission to get laid.

And they only get 72 virgins for ETERNITY?

What kind of bullshit deal is that?

I could run through 72 virgins in a few weeks.

As long as they are being lied to, the liars should have said INFINITE VIRGINS!

Now you got something.

72 versus ETERNITY IS AN ABSOLUTE GARBAGE DEAL FOR BLOWING YOURSELF UP AND TAKING INFIDELS WITH YOU.

 

[Lockback]

Not being a religious person it makes me squirm a bit when the protection of the cloud fairy is invoked..........

So we know where you're coming from.
Every national leader/military leader since the Beginning Of Time Itself has invoked their God to protect and lead their troops.
Lincoln did.
FDR did.
They all have.
So just STFU.
Nobody cares what you think.
Nobody.

I read somewhere that the promise is actually 70 palaces with 70 bedrooms each with 70 beds in each bedroom and 70 virgins in each bed.

But still for an eternity it should be infinite scrolling of virgins.
