Onward Christian Soldiers ...

Trump with his eyes closed as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivers remarks during the Cabinet meeting
at the White House on March 26, 2026.

1 Onward, Christian soldiers,

marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

going on before!

Christ, the royal Master,

leads against the foe;

Forward into battle,

see his banner go!

Refrain:

Onward, Christian soldiers,

marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus

going on before!

Pentagon staffers, current officers, former high-ranking military officials, chaplain corps, and veterans groups revealed the “unprecedented” monthly worship services led by Pete Hegseth in a Washington Post report published Sunday. They expressed concerns that the Defense Secretary was flouting the Constitution
by pushing his evangelical beliefs onto service members.

“I don’t approve of cramming your religious faith down people’s throats, and when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-Christian tone, it flies in the face of the freedom of religion that the Constitution enshrines and that our men and women in uniform sign up to defend,” one source told the Post.

Totally agree. As George Carlin said. Keep thy religion to thyself.
Seems Hegseth ignores this sage advice 24/7.
