Pentagon Pete Starts Petty New Fight as More Deployed Troops Are Hurt

Former Fox News host-turned-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called on the Air Force to fight back against a “radical” new threat: a nonprofit that asked military officials to stop bombarding service members with religious greetings.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, whose more than 100,000 members are both active-duty military personnel and veterans, announced in a press release this week that it received dozens of complaints about religious greetings at the front gates of the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The group said 24 of the 34 people who complained were Christians.
