Hicksayth cites religious texts in Texas speech about fighting Islamists
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered a speech to soldiers in Texas, in which he quoted a passage from Isaiah in the Old Testament and called on them to prepare for potential threats to the United States. In his speech, he used the phrase "Send Me" to strengthen national service spirit, referencing historical moments from American wars. The statements sparked criticism on social media, with many deeming it an inappropriate use of religious texts to justify war. Criticism was also directed at U.S. policy toward Israel, as some activists expressed their refusal to fight for or against Israel. The speech sparked a broad debate about the use of religious symbols in American military discourse.
