WWJD

I don't know what variety of Christian church Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth frequents, but I've read Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, commonly called the Beatitudes (New Testament, Matthew 5:9) where Jesus says: "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God."  Nowhere in the Beatitudes does Jesus praise Hegseth's hyper masculine death-dealing Christian knights of vengeance. 

There are many situations in the New Testament where Jesus eschews violence, including when he is arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Nevertheless, none of this comes as a great surprise; if you follow the polling as I do MAGA World overwhelmingly likes war. 

And I'm not ashamed to share that I pray daily for deliverance from the war.
