  11. #Trump has also frequently suggested the #US could exit the #Iran #war within weeks, with or without a deal.

    At the same time, the Defense Department has sent #thousands more US #troops to the #MiddleEast to reinforce the roughly 50,000 already in the region.

  12. The mission would require the airlift of potentially hundreds or thousands of #troops & heavy equipment to support the excavation & recovery of #radioactive material. That could take weeks, former #defense officials have estimated, & take place under fire deep inside #Iran.

  13. On the ground, the conflict showed no sign of letting up∶ Tehran struck a key #water & #electrical plant in #Kuwait, & an #oil refinery in #Israel came under attack. Israel & the #US launched a new wave of strikes on #Iran.

    …On the one hand, #Trump has repeatedly said that talks with Iran are going well — though Tehran denies negotiating directly. On the other hand, he has continually ramped up his threats, as thousands more Marines & other US #troops pour into the #MiddleEast.

  14. An investigative panel in 2005 said some academy officials used their positions to promote *their* understanding of #Christianity & didn’t accommodate the religious needs of non-Christians.

    President George W. Bush & Donald Rumsfeld, in the years after 9/11, spoke often about de-emphasizing any #religious differences between #US #troops & their enemies.

  15. The #Army civilian, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear of being punished at work or fired, said limits that used to exist around #proselytizing have evaporated under #Hegseth. The situation, the person said, is “terrifying.”

    If #troops are trained to believe that “God is on our side,” the person said, “what precludes us from doing anything we want to win? The strength of our #military is our people, & their sense of belonging to their unit & their service.”

  16. They feel they can’t voice their concerns to their superiors, & feel their work as the primary advocate for #troops’ spiritual, mental & moral #health is being threatened.
    
“I’ve had people tell me they’re not included in staff meetings,” Manner said.

    A snr #Army civilian who has worked in the #Pentagon for decades said people who work there are afraid to talk to one another or their superiors about concerns over #Hegseth’s actions.

  17. Rather than boosting cohesion through a more universal spiritual uplift, they say, the new approach violates the #Constitution & undermines the bonds of mutual #respect between #troops that are essential, especially in #wartime.

    Every month at the #Pentagon, #Hegseth hosts #evangelical worship services that #legal experts say are unprecedented.

  19. And as chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff in the late 2000s, with #troops in Iraq & Afghanistan, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen kept Mass off his public schedule, aiming to keep the particulars of his Catholic faith private.
    
But those longtime norms are being upended by the #proselytizing #Christian campaign of #Defense Sec Pete #Hegseth, say multiple former high-ranking #military officials & experts on #religion & #law.
