Breaking the Rules

Defense Secretary Hegseth is shaking things up by invoking his faith in wartime, a move that’s got current and former leaders up in arms. They say his proselytizing is a clear violation of the Constitution and a threat to troop cohesion.

A Break with Tradition

For decades, defense secretaries have kept their faith separate from their duties. Not Hegseth, though – he’s pushing the boundaries and raising eyebrows. It’s a bold move, but is it a smart one? Critics don’t think so, and they’re speaking out against what they see as a reckless disregard for the law and military protocol.
