At Pentagon Christian service, Hegseth prays for violence 'against those who deserve no mercy'
Source: AP News
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, hosting his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began, prayed Wednesday to have every round find its mark.
Every month it is fitting to be right here, he told the gathered civilian employees and uniformed military personnel. All the more fitting this month, at this moment, given what tens of thousands of Americans are doing right now.
He read a prayer he said was first given by a military chaplain to the troops who captured then-President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela.
Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation, Hegseth prayed during the livestreamed service. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.

Reminds me of lyrics from Don Henley/Frail Grasp on the Big Picture:
"And we pray to our Lord
Who we know is American
He reigns from on high
He speaks to us through middlemen
And he shepherds his flock
We sing out and we praise His name
He supports us in war
He presides over football games
And the right will prevail
All our troubles shall be resolved
We have faith in the Lord
Unless there's money or sex involved"
