Speaker 1: This is Seth Leibson for town hall dot com. The
Speaker 1: Washington Post and others are upset that Secretary of Defense
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth is hosting monthly worship services at the Pentagon. Unconstitutional,
Speaker 1: they say, upending of norms, breaking cohesion. Are they kidding us? First?
Speaker 1: I want my soldiers, especially in a time of war,
Speaker 1: being reverent and prayerful. Second, just how timid and weak
Speaker 1: are these Pentagon employees that they have to go off
Speaker 1: the record and run to the Washington Post to complain
Speaker 1: about this. One employee said, quote, if troops are trained
Speaker 1: to believe that God is on our side, what precludes
Speaker 1: us from doing anything we want to win? Close? Quote?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ask Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt, who led
Speaker 1: the largest public prayer in history on the cusp of
Speaker 1: D Day. Ask Dwight Eisenhower, who issued a prayer to
Speaker 1: the soldiers in World War Two, Or maybe know that
Speaker 1: a great deal of just war theory comes from famous
Speaker 1: religious leaders of yore. Journalists today just have no sense
Speaker 1: of history or context. Even the unknown soldier was known
Speaker 1: only to God. I'm Seth Leibson,
