Good points here from @stevebenen: Pete Hegseth isn't just claiming that God sanctions his bloodlust and his war crimes; he's also erasing the church-state separation in numerous ways, which Steve helpfully lists in this piece:

EXCLUSIVE | Kristi Noem awarded $1 billion in contracts to build the Mexican border wall to a company accused of smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, giving them guns, and allowing them to take part in a wild shootout.

You can draw a direct line from Hegseth’s disdain for rules of engagement right to his contempt for the role of an adversarial press:

We're proud of the work our Network is doing to support the next generation of girls in Chicago. Take a look at the magic that happened when we brought together more than 100 of these leaders—and then consider joining us to support their efforts this #WomensHistoryMonth!
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Thank you to @LAUSDSup and @LASchools leaders for standing up to protect kids and families.
This unnecessary militarization may be entertainment for the President, but even the premise of armed immigration agents and soldiers near schools, where children learn and grow, is simply wrong.
Please stay safe and calm, California.
Dear God. Soldiers at Fort Bragg booing the media, President Biden, Governor Newsom — anyone Trump targets.
This kind of partisan behavior in uniform used to be grounds for discipline. Now? It’ll probably be rewarded.
This isn’t just sick. It’s dangerous.
Normalizing military in the streets, masked agents grabbing people, and everything being an emergency that only the president can deal with by force are all part of the authoritarian playbook. As I wrote months ago:
NEWWWWS ---- Kash Patel and Dan Bongino want to relocate one of @FBI 's elite training academies from Quantico, Va -- near nation's capital - to Huntsville, Ala.

Everyone should watch this @gavinnewsom speech in full. Don't watch snippets on here. Watch the whole speech. Then plan to attend a No Kings peaceful protest this weekend.

Dear @SecDef: Are you sure you even know where the Marines are coming from? Reports say they are from Twentynine Palms, not Camp Pendleton.
Do you know what Marines are trained to do? Kill the enemy. What are they supposed to do, shoot protesters?
You should resign.
