The Patriot Post® · Faith Under Fire

In recent weeks, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has come under fire from the left-wing media for his openly sharing his faith. He hosts monthly prayer services at the Pentagon and attends weekly Bible studies at the White House.
 
The Washington Post and other media outlets claim that Hegseth’s public expressions of faith are shattering “decades-old norms.” Those would be the “decades” when political correctness and leftist bureaucrats started pushing faith out of the Pentagon.
 
The Post and other secular leftists were particularly peeved that Hegseth prayed for U.S. forces in the Iran conflict to unleash “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy” and that “every round [would] find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation.”
 
Were they upset at the colonel who was just rescued in Iran for relying on his Christian faith? The fact that there are leaders in our military and bureaucrats in the Pentagon who think the prayers of millions of Americans had nothing to do with his rescue is a sign of how much we have strayed from our Judeo-Christian heritage.
 
Thank God the president, the secretary of war and thousands of our men and women in the military are praising God and seeking His blessing before they go out on a mission. Why would anyone think they should do that in secret?
 
I can assure you there is not one jihadist Shiite warrior who doesn’t go through all the rituals of his false faith before he goes out to kill the infidel, whether it is an American or Israeli soldier or a Jew or a Christian. But we are told it is wrong to ask the True God for victory and protection.
