Hegseth also has deep connections with the so-called TheoBros, a collection of ultra-conservative and extremely online millennial Christian men who follow an Idaho pastor named Douglas Wilson.

Interesting. The only difference between these guys and Islamic Fundamentalists who are in charge in places like Afghanistan are which book they want to use as the basis of their laws, and the color of their hats.
So… these guys are rejecting Jesus’ teachings to follow pharasitical law?
Or do they really plan to follow:

If you haven’t realized the parallels of what is happening right now in the US and the Islamic Revolution of 1979…whooboy. It’s not light reading. These people are gunning for that outcome specifically.
