    In a sermon delivered before Christmas, Franklin Graham told members of the military that “God is also a god of war.” On Good Friday, the DOD hosted a prayer service only for Protestants. A Pentagon spokesperson later told HuffPo that the “Pentagon Chaplain Office’s priest is not in town.” Hegseth has repeatedly framed the US war in Iran as a “holy war,” calling Iranians “barbaric savages” and called on Americans to pray for victory “in the name of Jesus Christ.”
