Pete Hegseth’s “Holy War” It's a phrase I've been seeing around a lot ever since the start of the war in Iran which really got my attention.
2
The secretary of defense is obsessed with the Crusades, Medieval wars where Europeans fought to control the Holy Land.
3
Hegseth has two different tattoos that reference the Crusades, something that actually came up in his confirmation hearing in 2025.
4
It's a tattoo I have right here, Senator. It's called the Jerusalem cross. It's a historic Christian symbol.
5
His book is called American Crusade, and the title of the last chapter is "Make the Crusade Great Again." When I studied medieval history in college, everyone always made fun of me, saying it was totally irrelevant.
6
But clearly for Pete Hegseth, it's very relevant.
7
And as the Secretary of Defense for the United States, what he cares about has an impact on the fate of the world.
8
This most recent war in Iran has killed thousands of people since February 28th.
9
And this week, gas prices hit their highest level since the start of the war.
10
Even with a cease fire, this conflict doesn't seem any closer to ending.
11
So let's take a look at this holy war, investigating the actual history of the Crusades to see how Pete Hegseth’s obsession with medieval history might actually affect US foreign policy and the future of the war in Iran.
12
Our present moment is much like the 11th century.
13
We don't want to fight, but like our fellow Christians one thousand years ago, we must.
14
We need an American Crusade.
15
We Christians, alongside our Jewish friends and their remarkable army in Israel, need to pick up the sword of unapologetic Americanism and defend ourselves.
16
We must push Islamism back.
17
Pete Hegseth wrote that in 2020 when he was a Fox News host.
18
But now, in 2026, he's the Secretary of Defense and one of the biggest supporters of going to war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
19
Nearly all of Trump's senior cabinet members has expressed serious reservations about the war in Iran and whether it was an ill advised idea.
20
Except for Pete Hegseth, who seems to have consistently been enthusiastic about this war to the point that Trump has actually referred to it as "Pete's War" And if it's Pete's War, then it's important to understand how he's thinking about the war.
21
Now, a bit of historical context.
22
The Crusades were a series of religious wars in the Middle Ages, mainly fought by Christians against non-Christians.
23
They were often started by the Pope and first aimed at taking Jerusalem from Muslim control.
24
But over time, these wars spread to other regions throughout Europe.
25
Here's Hegseth's version of that history from his book American Crusade.
26
By the 11th century, Christianity was so besieged by Islam that Christians had a stark choice to wage defensive war and his emphasis on defensive or continue to allow Islam's expansion and face existential war at home in Europe.
27
I guess how does that sound to you?
28
Like nonsense.
29
The major claim that he's making here is that Islam is the aggressor Absolutely not true. 100% not true.
30
Then he's just kind of very neatly kind of smoothing it over, saying that Islam is ontologically, existentially, always kind of an aggressive force that attacks other people.
31
Hegseth's interpretation of the Crusades as a defensive war falls into a common misunderstanding of the Crusades.
32
He's trying to say that this these crusaders are progenitors of us today on the American right, that we need to do this once more.
33
It's an more an extreme oversimplification of a series of conflicts that lasted centuries.
34
The other thing, too, is that, of course, Hegseth served in Afghanistan And this matters because he's cast himself as a crusader.
35
Let's take another look at his tattoos.
36
"Deus Vult" is on his bicep. It means God wills it.
37
And it was a rallying cry of the Crusaders in the First Crusade around the year 1100.
38
And the Jerusalem Cross on his chest is another medieval symbol.
39
These types of kind of evocative symbols, both the Deus Vult and the Jerusalem Cross, kind of in combination, were not uncommon among American military within that, that that had a very specific kind of connotation of anti Islamic feeling, Islamophobic feeling, and kind of evocative of kind of neo-crusader ideology in that the US was carrying out a great crusade against its eternal foe, in their perspective, the eternal foe of Islam.
40
Here he is addressing Pentagon officials about the war in Iran in March of this year.
41
Last month I meant to read a prayer which I'm going to read today, which I think is fitting given given what's going on right now.
42
Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation.
43
Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.
44
Preserve their lives, sharpen their resolve, and let justice be executed swiftly and without remorse.
45
That evil may be driven back and wicked souls delivered to the eternal damnation prepared for them.
46
He's casting Iran as enemies of righteousness and an evil that must be driven back, which is consistent with what he's written about the Crusades.
47
He continually refers to the US military having the divine providence of God The providence of our Almighty God is there protecting those troops.
48
And we're we're we're committed to this mission.
49
The fact that there are at least people in the Trump administration's orbit, even if not Trump himself, were very comfortable with a Christianity versus Islam framing of this, I think that's pretty telling.
50
if an important cabinet member like Pete Hegseth sees the war as more than Iran versus the US, but rather as Islam versus Christianity, then that presents the stakes of the conflict in potentially dangerous ways.
51
I think when people in the 21st century evoke Crusade and we're talking about warfare specifically, they're talking about kind of a zero sum battle. When you get into, military situations in which there's only good guys and bad guys, it excuses any type of restraints on conduct.
52
Because if your enemy is existential, it's irrelevant.
53
Like like your job is to kill them, to defeat them in any way possible.
54
And this rings true with the kind of thinking we've already seen from Hegseth.
55
A consistent theme that we've heard from Hegseth's rhetoric is sort of getting the lawyers out of the way the US fights wars, about cutting back on sort of overly restrictive targeting guidelines, for instance.
56
And when you see things like the destruction of the school on the first day of the war in Iran that killed almost 200 schoolchildren, I think it's fair to ask questions about just how much they were sort of pulling back on the amount of scrutiny that these targeting decisions were getting.
57
And there are some other very real diplomatic ramifications towards framing the war in this way.
58
And you don't want to be using words like "crusade." You don't want to be casting this as a kind of, apocalyptic battle between Christianity and Islam, because that just feeds into the narrative of groups like al-Qaeda and like ISIS.
59
And, it has to be said, you know, the Islamic Republic of Iran today would love to have this be portrayed as as sort of a Christian war against Islam.
60
And most importantly, if Hegseth thinks of this war as part of a crusade, then violence seems inevitable.
61
The nation of Iran is not, you know, the caliphs of Baghdad who existed, you know, in the 9th and 10th and 11th centuries. Right.
62
But to Hegseth that's that's a distinction without a difference.
63
There are bad guys over there.
64
They are muslims. We are Christians.
65
They are our enemy in this kind of cosmic war between God and the devil, and that means there's going to be violence, that people are going to kill other people because of it.

맥락 및 배경
페트 헤그세스(Pete Hegseth)는 자신이 성전(Crusades)에 대한 집착을 드러내며, 현재 이란과의 전쟁과 관련하여 이 주제를 정치적 담론의 중심에 두고 있습니다. 그의 발언과 저서들은 중세 역사에서의 종교 전쟁을 현대의 외교 정책으로 연결짓고 있으며, 이란과의 갈등을 이슬람 대 기독교의 전투로 보고 있습니다. 이러한 해석은 과거를 어떻게 바라보느냐에 따라 전투의 의미와 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. 음성 인식 및 영어 학습에 있어, 이런 역사적 배경을 이해하는 것은 언어 습득에 많은 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
