Pete Hegseth’s Military Faith Policy Overhaul Triggers Pentagon Exodus
The Pentagon is in crisis mode after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth published a sweeping new directive that rewrites military chaplaincy and faith accommodation protocols. The hegseth military faith list changes eliminate longstanding religious inclusion benchmarks and replace them with a single, standardized code of conduct critics call a ‘spiritual loyalty test.’ Three senior chaplains have resigned in protest, and the Joint Chiefs are scrambling to assess the impact on troop morale and retention. Hegseth’s office insists the move is a necessary purge of ‘woke theology’ to harden operational readiness.
