Re: The theology of secretary Hegseth

I’m not elevating them above Jesus, but Jesus did not condemn being a soldier. You say “some” but you have to admit “most” Christians do not interpret Jesus to condemn serving your country as your “job” ... But does killing foreigners really serve one's country?

The Economist Magazine wrote:At the Pentagon's press conferences on Operation Epic Fury, the hair-gelled former Fox News host sometimes appears keener to wage culture wars than the one in Iran. 'He's a 12-year-old boy with a set of army action figures who likes to play war," sighs one former military official."
