I wonder how Hegseth feels about Jews



Multiple outlets confirmed that no separate Catholic service was scheduled on April 3–4, with a Pentagon spokesperson backing that up—raising serious questions about religious accommodation inside the military.

Now the Pentagon sidelines Catholic services while elevating evangelical ones.

That’s not just a scheduling choice. It’s a signal.
