Original: Hegseth launches Pentagon religious office, says military's 'real battle is spiritual'

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the creation of a new religious office at the Pentagon, saying the military's 'real battle is spiritual'. The move, reported by multiple US local news outlets, is drawing attention over the role of faith in the armed forces and is likely to fuel debate about the separation of church and state in the American military.

Why now: The launch of a religious office at the Pentagon by the defence secretary is an unusual and controversial move touching on religion in government institutions.
