@pennbarker.bsky.social reacts to Pete Hegseth overhauling the school curriculum for DOD schools: “We are in the middle of a war…And the fact that the Secretary of Defense is focused on censorship of the DOD schools…This is not the job of the Secretary of Defense.”

So what if you just want to serve your country in the military now and don’t want Christian nationalism shoved down your throat and pushed on you by military leadership? I guess you are out of luck. Because that was our military for the entire history of the country until now.
