[u/rat_penis]

onward christian soldiers! This fuck wants to lead a crusade from his desk

[u/mcloofus → u/rat_penis]

He wants to weed out anyone who will impede the coup.

[u/rat_penis → u/mcloofus]

That too.

[u/CarminSanDiego → u/mcloofus]

That’s why I , as a military member, changed my religious preference to Christianity

[u/Levonade → u/rat_penis]

A crusade against the wrong people at that.

[u/QueefBuscemi → u/Levonade]

So... a crusade?

[u/qix96 → u/rat_penis]

I can't stand watching this dude for that long but was this only christian support (as I would expect)? Or are they trying to support all religions in the military?

[u/Hoosier2016 → u/qix96]

Come on what do you think

[u/superspicycurry37 → u/qix96]

Take a wild guess

[u/E51838 → u/qix96]

How’s life under that rock?

[u/secretlyjudging → u/E51838]

Seriously. Hegseth has systematically reduced the number of faiths recognized by the military. Shit are happening and people give current administration benefit of a doubt.

[u/rat_penis → u/secretlyjudging]

Everybody waiting for the first guy to throw a punch and unleash the mobs on both sides.

[u/caffeine-junkie → u/qix96]

Hes very supportive of your religious choice, as long as its the correct one that he approves of. If it isnt, well you signed that right away as well when you joined. Cant even abstain any more from all religious faith and chose atheist.

[u/pyronius → u/qix96]

Let's put it this way: his previous big action along similar lines was to sharply limit the number of religions that the military actually recognizes, and of those remaining, the vast vast vast majority of them are just branches of christianity. You can now be recognized basically as, standard Jewish, standard Muslim, standard Buddhist, standard Hindu, or any of 100 varieties of Christian.

[u/beekermc → u/qix96]

Lol

[u/brownsfan760 → u/qix96]

He's not even supporting all Christian denominations.

[u/ThatFilmGuy88 → u/rat_penis]

Totally just a coincidence that he also has a Crusade tattoo…

[u/World-Ender-109]

Separation of church and state?

[u/houstonyoureaproblem → u/World-Ender-109]

These people loathe the Constitution and American institutions. They couldn’t care less about separation of church and state.

[u/absoultepong → u/houstonyoureaproblem]

They also don’t care about religion.

[u/HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS → u/absoultepong]

They care about it! Just in the sense of using it as a way to control others and justify their actions, despite being antithesis to any “good” that Christianity preaches

[u/Jetztinberlin → u/World-Ender-109]

Nah, never heard of it :/

[u/SpaceCampDropOut → u/Jetztinberlin]

Neither has the Supreme Court.

[u/Odinsson17 → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

It's been ruled on several times

[u/HairballTheory → u/Odinsson17]

Doesn’t apply to the the War Pope

/s

[u/waffle299 → u/World-Ender-109]

Christian Nationalists have been spreading stories for years that the wall between church and state is some sort of liberal conspiracy. 

[u/TheTVDB → u/World-Ender-109]

I'm not watching Hegseth talk for 6 minutes, so I say this with uncertainty with regard to the details. I think this would be allowed so long as it's not specifically Christian. In the same way there are military chaplains.

So, it's now up to the Church of Satan to do their thing and force it to become an issue of separation of church and state, because you know Hegseth and company won't allow anything other than a fundamentalist Christian program.

[u/V4R14N7 → u/TheTVDB]

Temple of Satan is probably the one that will fight for this, they're the ones that are most active for this and other (equal) rights around the country.

[u/o_MrBombastic_o → u/World-Ender-109]

That's unamerican commie talk why do you hate Christians? /s

[u/spanksthemonkey → u/o_MrBombastic_o]

This whole wave of "Commie" accusations reminds me of good ole Joe and how he was a closeted self-hating gay man who lashed out at others.
or.. maybe...I dunno...
Roy Cohn, a manwho worked closely with America's "poppa Joe" and is another self loathing gay man who has admitted a "crush" on DJT.
Same commie accusation bullshit from all these homophobic gay men.

[u/Chemistry11 → u/spanksthemonkey]

“Commie” just makes me laugh because it’s not 1950 anymore. I’d weather be a Commie than a Corporate Socialist.

[u/thissexypoptart → u/World-Ender-109]

Is it a video saturation issue, is the man absolutely jaundiced as fuck?

[u/eugene20 → u/thissexypoptart]

someone's fake tan's been rubbing off all over his hands and face.

[u/rat_penis → u/World-Ender-109]

"*Well ackshully* It doenst say that anywhere so that means it allows it!"

Disingenuous fucks

[u/anirban_dev → u/World-Ender-109]

As far as foundational building blocks of America being dismantled goes, this is a rather small and obvious one.

[u/Munster172 → u/World-Ender-109]

America was literally founded because we were tired of being told what religion to be. God I’m so tired.

[u/Xynvincible → u/Munster172]

Mm, not really. Moreso it was founded by the religious who were so crazy Europe decided they didn’t want them anymore. That’s what “freedom of religion” really means. Those poor, persecuted Puritans found a public unwilling to have their will enforced upon them, so they decided to create one themselves.

[u/Suicidal_Deity → u/World-Ender-109]

Separation of church and skate!

[u/ckellingc → u/World-Ender-109]

Sounds woke to me

[u/ipreferanothername → u/World-Ender-109]

countless conservatives and/or bots will tell you its not a real thing

[u/cyrixlord → u/World-Ender-109]

they think Israel is the Jewish land and they want a Christian theology governing the usa to have a christian nationalist nation... yet they warn us about muslim theology and how terrible their governments are.... hypocrites

[u/symbouleutic]

Pete Hegseth has a lot of experience with "Affairs".
(He admitted to 5 different affairs while married to his first wife, and at least one affair while married to his second wife - when he got his third wife pregnant)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Hegseth

[u/Vio_ → u/symbouleutic]

I remember when John Edwards got blown out of the water for having exactly one affair.

[u/tynman35 → u/Vio_]

Well yeah, if Pete were to run for anything, he'd lose. So when the most corrupt president in history gives you a lucrative cabinet position, you take it.

[u/Throwawaylikeme90 → u/Vio_]

Well to be fair, wasn’t she dying of cancer? Like… you’re fuckparty is en route, don’t drive to meet the delivery guy. If I’m remembering right it is pretty fucking bad lol. 

[u/devilishycleverchap → u/Throwawaylikeme90]

So a Newt Gingrich?

[u/hutch7909 → u/Throwawaylikeme90]

Wait till you hear about what your King got up to when one of his many wives was pregnant with a busty pornstar. She claimed he had the biggest hog she’d ever seen ( checking notes), correction, smallest hog she’d ever seen.

[u/QueefBuscemi → u/symbouleutic]

How to the most unfuckable people in the world keep getting laid?

[u/silent3 → u/QueefBuscemi]

They're fucking the rest of the unfuckable people.

[u/singlewall → u/symbouleutic]

WWJD? Probably not that.

[u/Small-Talk-2306 → u/symbouleutic]

As a general rule, I won't trust a man more than his own wife does.

[u/IH8BART]

Tax churches

[u/HangryWolf → u/IH8BART]

Yep. If we're no longer separating the two church and state, they are now 100% within taxing rights. Else, we the state should no longer be taxed. Have fun with that.

[u/fiendishrabbit]

One step closer to the fascist theocracy that they want.

[u/mcloofus → u/fiendishrabbit]

They don't care about Jesus one bit. They just want to keep Christian conservatives locked in and weed out anyone in the military who might object to their fascist takeover.

[u/xxneoxx3000 → u/mcloofus]

It's so fucking dystopian and deeper than that. The religious right has been planting seeds for decades, in hopes that one day they would germinate to infect enough people that it would finally catapult them into power. Well, they've done it. A lot of ex-Evangelical cult members are sounding the alarms that these Christo-fascist demons finally managed to take over the government, and you are seeing everything play out exactly as they'd hoped.

Religion is the best tool they can use to divide and conquer, then maintain power as ordained by their divine God. We are so fucked it's not even funny. Purges are coming, consolidation of power, then free reign to enact what their twisted God orders them to. I'll save you some time, their God wants wealthy white people to rule over lower class minorities and white folks, as well as infinite tithing and 0 privacy. Only those in power will be allowed to embibe, fuck and do whatever they want, because what are you going to do about it?

[u/rikwes → u/xxneoxx3000]

And this is ,ironically , precisely the thing Jesus was opposed to and preached against .

[u/pezxb → u/fiendishrabbit]

you didn't got the memo last year right?

[u/sketchahedron]

You’d have to be pretty stupid to join the military right now.

[u/timmyotc → u/sketchahedron]

Usually they select for desperation. One of the arguments against free college is that it would hurt recruitment numbers

[u/funkmasterhexbyte → u/sketchahedron]

too bad they can decide to draft us anyway

[u/cloudncali → u/funkmasterhexbyte]

I wonder what percentage of people would rather go to jail then fight for this clownshow.

[u/mistiry → u/funkmasterhexbyte]

Legitimately, one of the positives to getting older that I remind myself of from time-to-time as I watch the world continue to deteriorate around me, is that I've aged out of the desirable age range for something like a draft.

This country will have to be *incredibly* desperate to want to draft my middle-aged, slightly overweight, and definitely out-of-shape self.

[u/Careidina → u/funkmasterhexbyte]

Gonna use us as meat shields.

[u/digidave1 → u/sketchahedron]

Whatever 'bonus' they promise them, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that check

[u/denied_eXeal]

In Russia, the Orthodox Church is basically led by the KGB and is just another tool used by the regime to control their people, the same thing is being done in the US.

From the outside looking in we all know MAGAts regime doesn’t give a fuck about religion, but it’s gonna be a way to keep tabs on their fanatics and squash any form of resistance before it takes hold

[u/SaltyShawarma → u/denied_eXeal]

Are you telling me that all these adulterers and pedophiles don't care about their own religion?! I never...

[u/Dap-aha → u/denied_eXeal]

Have you seen the links between the Orthodox church and military cadets (as in young children through to adulthood)? Part of the same strategy and deeply disturbing

[u/GamingVision → u/denied_eXeal]

MAGAs don’t care as long as it’s their religion. They are completely on board for being repressed as long as it’s through their lens.

[u/Corporal_Canada → u/denied_eXeal]

INB4 the military gets religious commissars

[u/drevolut1on]

Illegal and unconstitutional. Separation of Church and State.

Impeach, prosecute, and execute this fuck for treason.

[u/amakai → u/drevolut1on]

Lol, who is going to do that, you? Or layers of corrupted officials?

[u/throwawayrefiguy → u/amakai]

You are correct. Likely a lot of what needs to happen will be extrajudicial, otherwise people like him will walk.

[u/ImpulsE69 → u/drevolut1on]

hasn't stopped them yet.

[u/DMMMOM → u/drevolut1on]

Even if they had the execution order, for some reason, like most of these court rulings, it would just be ignored. Do you guys not have court officers and police to enforce things like this?

[u/ronswanson11]

Remember folks. Republicans are allowing this man to hold this position. Remember that in November.

[u/fuckst1cK1]

Repeat after me:

Separation

Of

Church

And

State

[u/SuperlativeHyperbole → u/fuckst1cK1]

You think these people running your country care about trivial things like laws and rules? That ship has long sailed unfortunately.

[u/Joice_Craglarg → u/fuckst1cK1]

Oh wow, repeating after you made it true!

Just kidding, that shit doesn't mean anything anymore. 🫩

[u/gloriousrepublic → u/fuckst1cK1]

I’m as anti-hegseth as they come.

But providing faith resources for soldiers is abolutley not a violation of separation of church and state.

Showing that they overwhelmingly provide resources to one religion and not other, commensurate with faith demographics within the service? That would be a violation.

[u/zeydey]

Separation of church and state, you know the thing this country was fucking formed on??

[u/QueefBuscemi]

1. Create Office Of Religious Affairs
2. Staff it with zealots who worship the Dear Leader <--- you are here
3. ORA gets it's own 'police' units to 'protect religious freedom'
4. ORA gets preferential treatment when it comes to weapons and funding
5. ORA expands rapidly to tens of thousands of units
6. ORA becomes it's own branch of the military

Et voilá, you've created the SS.

[u/HoneyBarbequeLays]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"...I wonder what's not clear there. Is this gonna go all the way to SC and somehow be split? What a dumb timeline we live in

[u/flaagan → u/HoneyBarbequeLays]

Simple, they're just skipping having Congress involved.

[u/xupit3r]

freedom of religion is also freedom from religion.

[u/JackLumberPK → u/xupit3r]

That's what drives me crazy about these religious types who hate the idea of separating church and state while at the same time screaming about how important religious freedom is, as though the one isn't a literal requirement for the other to exist.

[u/Ditka85]

So we're just going to toss out the whole First Amendment thing?

[u/Shurae]

This is so hilarious and sad. Is that what the US in 2026 amounts to? I thought thats insulting to all the military but I dunno US just seems weird af nowadays

[u/sokolov22]

The party of small government sure likes adding stuff to the government

[u/I_need_a_date_plz]

This is unconstitutional

[u/Lukinzz]

Gillead in 3….2….1

[u/J_P_Freely]

Seems like they're playing a game of 'how bad can we fuck things up in the next 2 years'

[u/AceMcG33]

When religious zealots run governments - the irony

[u/Person0OnTheInternet]

This country is a fucking joke.

[u/Square_Saltine]

Separation of something and something

[u/ckellingc]

Reminder to Conservatives out there: If the First Amendment can be revoked, so can your Second.

[u/FoolishBeginnings]

Kind odd how the administration obsessed with war, hoarding wealth, abusing woman, outcasting immigrants, demonizes anyone who disagrees with them and financial hurts the poor is so focused on Christianity.

[u/macinit1138]

The most backward anti-American administration ever.

[u/taez555]

“thou shall not kill”, sure has a lot of asterisks next to it for Christians.

*unless it’s for revenge
*unless it’s to smite the non believers
*unless god came to me in a dream and said my 3 kids need to be drowned in a bathtub
*unless they’re they wrong religion or skin color
*unless there’s an offhand chance they’ll get nukes
*Unless i want to watch someone suffer from a botched lethal injector cuz it makes me giddy

[u/BrayKerrOneNine]

I don’t believe in god. Some fake ass book written 1000 years ago should not decide the way the country is run!

[u/camador1976]

Corps of cadets at Liberty and Hillsdale. Now this. His plan is to fill the ranks with “christian” nationalist soldiers.

[u/Roving_Ibex]

He has a weird speaking cadence and peddles propaganda

[u/thedoommerchant]

Hey military, remember that oath to the constitution you swore to uphold?

[u/lonelydan]

The enshittification of everything continues!

[u/LittleKitty235 → u/lonelydan]

Honestly it seems more like intentional sabotage than just enshittification. It is like they are going out of their way to break laws and waste money

[u/lonelydan → u/LittleKitty235]

You're right, they are deliberate.

[u/DaemonAnguis]

People need to be out on the streets protesting for the protection of the Constitution.

[u/StraightCashHomie69]

Known man of Christian values Hegseth leading this....

[u/Yazim]

Oh cool. I wonder which religion will be represented?

[u/deevee12 → u/Yazim]

Hegseth has seen the light of Allah

[u/BarryBro → u/Yazim]

I mean actually because trump has been saying some weird stuff like "praise be to allah".. I don't remember that in bible study..

[u/Bart404]

So so close to Gilead! Handmaidens soon I suppose? Jfc… what has happened to America?!

[u/SpaceCampDropOut]

So does this mean since I don’t follow evangelical christo nationalism as a religion, I can’t get drafted for the next quagmire?

[u/kdavis0315]

This is the darkest timeline

[u/Capotesan]

This is the dumbest person to ever be in charge of anything in the history of our planet

[u/ShittyLanding]

I look forward to this man’s fall from grace.

[u/JosefOgle]

Hey quick question um what the fuck

[u/Dracogame]

The good note is that the next administration will simply have to pass the “anti-re***d act” that blindly reverses every single initiative put in place but these sub-humans and freezes all of their assets. Pretty easy win.

[u/Alundra828 → u/Dracogame]

Thats assuming that an American when presented two options wont habitually pick the stupidest of the two.

[u/TheBigMoogy]

I see all these fears of militant Christofascists were exactly as warranted as non-idiots thought.

[u/aerdvarkk]

And someone will take this to the courts and have it deemed Unconstitutional.

[u/binarypower]

passport designs, currency portraits, reflecting pools, name changes, art center management... like aren't there more important things going on in the world currently than adding more useless shit like this to your plate

[u/dorkimoe]

Rich coming from people who commit some of the most heinous crimes

[u/Shaggyfries]

WTF

[u/cryfest]

So, its inquisitors?

[u/Jubez187]

I wonder what religion he is talking about

[u/SteveLouise → u/Jubez187]

Fingers crossed for sikhism.

[u/adorableoddity]

I do not want my tax dollars paying for this stupid shit

[u/stefanopolis]

“The ivy leaguers will never understand you.” Brother you went to Princeton.

[u/conniefrancis]

this guy is medically stupid

[u/Geometronics]

Crusades 2: Electric Boogaloo?

[u/asu2021]

The most aggravating thing about this goon is he thinks he's killing it.

[u/JWBIERE]

24 year Air Force vet and I retired pre Trump. The message is very clear

MALE, WHITE, CHRISTIAN is all they want in the military.

Our Military deserves much better than this unserious, unqualified drunkard.

[u/RandyOfTheRedwoods]

OK, I took one for the team, and watched the video.

Most of what he said is reasonable. We have always had chaplains in the military, so having a department for them to report into is reasonable.
(I am not religious, but I think it is OK to support those that are, especially in times where death may be imminent)

He made two comments near the end that were concerning and seemed to be outside the establishment of the department. He suggested that the military should be comfortable knowing good from evil, as god taught us, and that we fight for god. Both those would, in my opinion, open up misuse of the military to fight religious wars, and should not be tolerated.

Now, were they offhand as part of a speech, and had no ulterior motive, or were they purposely said. Time will tell. (And I’ll bet a lot of strong opinions as to which are about to be posted as comments in this thread. :-) )

[u/1haiku4u → u/RandyOfTheRedwoods]

Thank you for your service 

[u/JumpingTheShart → u/RandyOfTheRedwoods]

Thank you for your service.

[u/hoodlumonprowl]

God damn this guy is such a try hard loser wannabe douche bag

[u/Atoning_Unifex]

despicable ratfuck

[u/Demorant]

Oh, so he wants... zealots... Thast's not okay, he's not Protoss.

[u/justinian8181]

What a fucking tool

[u/Dogkota]

It's wild how you can easily say "it can't possibly get any more embarrassing than this" every week and still routinely be proven wrong.

[u/LolaInSlacks88]

Someone needs to tell this dumb fuck that the Bible he so reveres condemns his alcoholism.

[u/Kitakitakita]

the crusaders are back baybee

[u/AndersaurusR3X]

[u/Low_Entertainer_6973]

Blur the lines and it’s nobody’s fault.

[u/Summary_Judgment]

Just like the Taliban!

[u/illtakeachinchilla]

"No, no, no, no. There's no God. There's no man in the sky. I'm not—and it's just me."

[u/LivingHighAndWise]

Yea that will fix our military.. How the hell did we get here?

[u/MrFiendish]

Veterans and active servicemen overwhelmingly vote Republican. So, you know, have fun dealing with all this, and thank you for your service.

[u/MilmoWK]

That entire stage and the way he speaks and paces reminds me of some grifting TV evangelist

[u/Avoidtolls]

Iran is also a theocracy.

[u/FranksWateeBowl]

Fuck this guy.

[u/toastedninja]

Cool, so this means that there is going to be Muslim, Buddhist, Sikhism, and Satanist (etc;) representation and they all share EQUAL rights in this new official branch...... RIGHT?!

[u/GreenSmokeRing]

It should go next to Pete’s makeup room so they can be as fabulous as him!

[u/THING2000]

So are any politicians or elected officials going to do anything about this or are we supposed to wait and accept this open dismantling of our government with cheeks spread?

[u/malizeleni]

Boy, USA is getting dismantled piece by piece, and half of the country is supporting it.

[u/maddiejake]

I left Christianity as soon as they started supporting pedophilia.

[u/kingofaidans → u/maddiejake]

Soooo, 2000 years ago?

[u/DrAtomic1]

May as well rename it to Office of Pedophelia, or Office of Trump, inline with the change of Department of Defense to Department of War.

[u/Throwawaymaybeokay]

What in the holy war ?

[u/Mannzis]

We don't put non-lawyers in charge of the jag corps or non-doctors in charge of military surgeons

Yet this talk show host was put in charge of the military.

This whole administration is unqualified people being put into positions of power. It's like, their whole thing from Trump on down. What utter hypocrisy.

[u/Talentagentfriend]

He needs to be impeached. He was going to be impeached right before everyone went on break. These new stories with him is probably petty retaliation.

[u/eyehate]

That is fantastic.

I was a NORELPREF when I was active. They did not believe in atheists.

If I were still active I would seek Baphomet representation, you know, since we are respecting religion in government.

[u/Little_Jackie_Paper]

Jesus fucking Christ.  In case any one needs reminding religion of all types are 100 percent man made and fake.  The fact that any one in any capacity uses it for any sort of decision making is embarrassing.  

[u/wobdarden]

John Adams will rise from the grave, mark my words.

[u/racingsoldier]

Can someone explain this to me? We already have a Chaplains office. As an occupational specialty there is a chief Chaplain as the lead of the proponency. What does an Office of Religious Affairs do differently?

[u/el_dude_brother2 → u/racingsoldier]

Last gasp grab for religious voter in November

[u/illtakeachinchilla]

Woah…

[u/SteveJobsBlakSweater]

wtf is an Office of Religious Affairs to a country that has an enshrined amendment about the separation of church and state?

[u/Jaber1077]

Crap! Next he’ll be announcing that clergy of different faiths and denominations will be embedding with the troops.

[u/this_is_not_a_dance_]

He gives the vibe of someone who eats their own shit

[u/Siet83]

More and more convinced that the world DID end in 2012 and it threw us all into this dumbass fascist timeline

[u/moseley101]

And what about all the muslims in the army. Will they get imams. Something tells me Petey boy wouldn’t want that

[u/ernster96]

And by religious affairs he means Christian and by Christian he means his brand of Christianity.

[u/karevorchi]

It’s embarrassing that these losers have so much power over normal Americans that hate them with passion.

[u/GeniusEE]

Can't wage wars on Muslims without a Department of Crusades.

[u/thehorseyourodeinon1]

White Christians are trying so hard to be the victim, huh? I think providing services to ensure healthy mind, body and spirit is good for soldiers but I KNOW this is just a dog whistle for white christian nationalists.

[u/DD2146 → u/thehorseyourodeinon1]

We already have religious personnel in the military for that

[u/luveveryone]

So I guess we're not separating church and state these days...

[u/Blind-_-Tiger]

Get ready to have a religious affair with *checks notes* Satan!

[u/THEFLYINGSCOTSMAN415]

Does the Secretary of Defense get to open new offices? Genuinely don’t get how this shit works but seems weird to be rolled out him

[u/KS2Problema]

Somehow, I don't think Hegseth, Trump and company, are going to be beating too many swords into plowshares anytime soon. No matter what it says in the good book.

Where, they will ask, would the profit be in that?

[u/LTIRfortheWIN]

It will be gone before it starts 

[u/tikstar]

Had such an opportunity to call it the Office of God. If you're gonna suck can you at least be entertaining?

[u/turribleDeal]

didn't hear a "Send me to fight the nazi's"

[u/Strong-Carrot-6021]

🤮

[u/shanksisevil]

trump only approved it because it said affairs.

[u/EmoJackson]

Realistically is there any way a new administration can fix all this. How long will it take?

[u/sklerson89]

Fuck this shit

[u/Upstairs-Ad-6853]

That’s illegal 

[u/HenriEttaTheVoid]

How long until their belt buckles say "Gott mit Uns" ?

[u/Fakeskinsuit]

But remember, come election time it’s “bOtH sIdEs!”

[u/winmace]

lmao this is hilarious, god the US always does the best entertainment when it comes to their politics

[u/TheAGolds]

So it’s going to represent all of the countless religions that have been created, right?

/s

[u/KarthusWins]

Which religion, Pete?

[u/cyrixlord]

I got out of the military after 6 years because of religion. it was easy to prey on us from the dorms where they could door to door hundreds of us almost monthly with offers of free food at the church

[u/HollowCrown]

We’re not all to burn to a crisp in a nuclear war noooo, everything is just fine, just fine…

[u/Darryl_444]

Appeal to all the imaginary deities you want, it will not make a lick of difference in the end.

[u/MajorThor]

Didn’t he rename it to the Department of War?
