14. This is happening on our dime. If they want to meet in their off time for a service, fine.

Just not on my dime. If Hegseth gets to have his service, then Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Wiccan, Agnostic, Atheist, and any other religion or belief system gets equal time. This is NOT a Christian state. He's supposed to be running the Pentagon, not preaching or praying. I wouldn't listen to an alcoholic rapist for tips on serving Jesus, either. Sickening!
