SecDef Pete Hegseth fired back at the "criticism" he is getting for hosting a prayer service at the Pentagon yesterday
Unreal that this has to be argued.

"I've gotten some 'criticism' for hosting a Christian prayer service at the Pentagon yesterday. We said it very publicly, we said it very proudly. Appealing to Heaven, to God, is a long-standing tradition in our military."

"I appeal to Jesus Christ for that protection. We're gonna speak that word and be open and willing to talk about that at the Pentagon. If they want to criticize that, they're on the WRONG SIDE of a very important issue."

"I'm very proud that we're starting a monthly voluntary service at the Pentagon. George Washington was on bended knee with the troops, praying for God's providence and protection in that moment."

"Chaplains and ministers and Christians and people of faith across generations have prayed because of the business that we're in. The business of the 82nd Airborne."
