Hegseth creează un birou pentru religie la Pentagon: „Departamentul nostru își pune întreaga armură a lui Dumnezeu”

The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, announced the establishment of a new Office of Religious Affairs at the Pentagon to support military chaplains. This office will report directly to the Secretary and aims to provide top-tier religious support. Hegseth emphasized the spiritual battle alongside physical wars, reflecting his evangelical Christian beliefs. The office will advocate for chaplains' interests without mandating participation in religious activities or favoring any specific faith. Critics argue it undermines the separation of church and state, while similar offices have existed in previous administrations. The Pentagon has also reduced the number of officially recognized religious affiliations.
