By making the case that the war with Iran is a holy crusade, the evangelicals around the president are making it impossible to end.

    Hegseth already thought this when he got the job.

    He’s insane and in charge enough without religious leaders anyway.

        No, that’s Vance. Hegseth is the one with the christofascist tattoos; you don’t have those carved onto you out of cynicism.

          I think it is mostly cynicsm, that he doesn’t actually believe that nonsense, and that he’s playing those that do, and tattoos are a part of that. Guy was a fox news host, no way he’s a true believer.

          Yeah, I have a feeling Hegseth is either a true believer, or state mandated rehab brainwashed him into it.

          Or drunk visions talk to him.

          I don’t think Vance believes anything he says past what will keep him in power.
