Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, hosting his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began, prayed on Wednesday for American bullets to hit their targets. An established nonprofit group has sued both Hegseth and Donald Trump's labour secretary, accusing them of engaging in religious discrimination and breaching the separation of church and state.
