The New Office of Religion in the Pentagon is Defenseless



When the Secretary of Defense announced a new office of religion in the miliary he did not refer to it as encompassing all religions. It was as if he had never heard of religions other than Christianity. He quoted from the Bible.  The Office of Religion is the Office of Christianity in the military. 

The U. S. military is so huge I suppose there are many specialized enterprises within it. There is a chaplaincy corps that considers all or nearly all the faiths represented in the military. Chaplains are prepared to conduct religious services in religions they themselves are not part of. Where does Secretary Hegseth's Office of Religion and the Bible verses he used fit into the Chaplaincy Corps? I would guess most of the career Chaplains do not know where it fits in either.

I read over the years about the part of the military that deals in propaganda. We all know playing with the heads of the enemy has always been part of warfare. Where does Hegseth's own religious propaganda fit into that used by propaganda professionals? If someone knows share it.

Maybe Hegseth envisions something like the Crusades where troops carrying the cross went to the Middle East to defeat Islam. The Crusaders went to war three different times. It might help to remind Hegseth the Crusaders lost.
