Hegseth- Original and Extended Cut (of what he should have said)

Hegseth, original: "God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of sorties, refuelings, and strikes, carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection.”

(Hegseth Extended cut inserted here) Except for one F-15E fighter jet, two -A10 Warthogs, two - MC-130J Transport planes (that we may have destroyed in order to save), two-Black hawk helicopters, and more than a dozen US troops who were killed. In total, God allowed 17 US aircraft to be shot down, destroyed or crash in this conflict and more than a dozen US troops to be killed. Those machines and humans were obviously not protected by God. The machines were destroyed because they were evil and possessed by demons (Go ask Vance about demons or see link below) and the troops were killed because God’s plan cannot be understood by..us tiny humans”
