Faith and Morale in the Military

My perspective, I mean, o- obviously I'm a man of faith who

encourages our troops

to lean into their faith, uh, rely on God.

There's no atheists in foxholes. Your mortality's right in front of you.

I remember prayer for me on combat missions, how important that was.

That's why we're making the chaplain corps great again and active again, making

sure we're pouring into the, the faith of our troops.

My Christian faith, uh, faith in general, uh, is important to the

president. It's important in our fighting ranks to

give them perspective, uh, you

know, of, on human nature,

on their own humanity, on our own mortality.

Uh, and we lost a lot of that with sort of

self-help, self-esteem nonsense, which is not what troops need.

They need a, a connection with their almighty God, uh,

in these moments.

And, um, I'm proud of how our, our troops are conducting themselves,

and I pray for

them every day.
