Pete Hegseth is beyond disgusting as he shows in a prayer he said to troops
He read a prayer he said was first given by a military chaplain to the troops who captured then-President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela.
Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation, Hegseth prayed during the livestreamed service. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed, he read from the Psalms on Wednesday.

Sorry, Kegsbreath, it just makes you a clown to be toyed with, and ultimately discarded like the obnoxious white-trash-Nazi-wannabe you are, always have been, and always will be. Slither back into the sewer that spawned you, and shut the fuck up.

(489 posts)I am an atheist, but I have read the bible. Can't imagine Jesus Christ approving of this "prayer".

(17,418 posts)There are quite a few that "pray" for "victory over my enemies", but in the New Testament, we learn that the goal is to one day be in the presence of God. I think it was Jesus who taught that your enemy is that which prevents you from being in God's presence".
The enemy is NOT some Army across the field, or my neighbor. The enemy is that within me that keeps me from my goal. Things like greed, envy, rage, pride, cruelty, apathy, hatred and bloodlust...in other words EVERY FUCKING THING THAT LIVES IN THE HEARTS OF MAGAts.

(14,168 posts)A lawsuit was filed Monday over the services by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. The advocacy group filed a similar suit against the Labor Department, where Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer hosts monthly prayer gatherings inspired by Hegseth.
The suit seeks to enforce a public records request from December, asking the Pentagon for internal communications about the worship services, their cost, guests and any complaints received from employees.
