Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently headlined a Christian communicators conference in Tennessee, where he spoke about what he sees as necessary changes to U.S. military culture under the current administration. In remarks blending religion and politics, he told the audience that the left is “Godless” and declared, “We train our troops; we no longer trans our troops.”
Despite the conference being centered on communication, very little of what Hegseth opined about was comprehensible. But the Donald Trump administration’s vow of no longer “transing the troops,” aside, he continued his rail against how he sees the left as having destroyed the army in the four years between Trump’s first term and second.
