US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is facing criticism regarding a military recruitment initiative titled the 'Send Me Tour.' During a recent visit to Texas A&M University, Hegseth led a group of young recruits in a chant that included the refrain, 'send me to go fight the Islamists.'

Critics have characterized the use of these religious texts in the context of the tour as 'blasphemous,' sparking debate over the intersection of religious rhetoric and military recruitment practices.
