Hegseth: ‘We’re Fighting Religious Fanatics’ ... ‘My Christian Faith, Faith in General Is Important to Our President’

HEGSETH: "I mean, obviously, we’re fighting religious fanatics who seek nuclear capability in order to — for some religious armageddon. But from my perspective, I mean, obviously, I'm a man of faith who encourages our troops to lead into their faith, rely on God. There’s no atheists in foxholes. Your mortality is right in front of you. I remember prayer for me on combat missions, how important that was. That’s why we’re making the chaplain corps great again and active again, make sure we’re pouring into the faith of our troops. My Christian faith, faith in general, is important to the president, it’s important in our fighting ranks to give them perspective on human nature, on their own humanity, on our own mortality. And we lost a lot of that with sort of self-help, self-esteem nonsense, which is not what troops need. They need a connection with their Almighty God in these moments. And I’m proud of how our troops are conducting themselves and I pray for them everyday."
