The Crusader Complex: How the Pentagon's New Prayer Services Undermine the Constitution and the Military

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of explicitly Christian rhetoric, including prayers 'in the name of Jesus Christ' for military success in the Iran war, during official Pentagon worship services is blurring the line between church and state.
