"American Christians can’t pretend we haven’t seen what our leaders have done this spring. Ours is no longer a government interested in haggling over the finer points of just war theory, a Scripture-shaped standard of ethical conduct in warfare, to defend a military intervention."

~ Justin R. Hawkins

Threatening Profound Evil Trivializes That Evil

President Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth speak often of Christianity—but they seem to have no interest in its vision for just warfare.

Christianity Today

"It is instead flirting with dispensing with that standard altogether, using the language and symbols of our faith while ignoring its substance. …

Trump and Hegseth seem to want to wage war unencumbered by the task of protecting the dignity of human life. But that task is not about 'politically correct and overbearing rules' or any other boogeymen of Hegseth’s imagination."
