Yes the Confederates did the same.

But as Lincoln noted there is a difference in praying for victory vs the presumption that God is actually behind what you’re doing. (And the way you’re doing it.)

The full prayer read by Hegseth was attributed to a military chaplain: "Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy."

Thats hardly God-washing (whatever that is). And I see no presumption that God has taken any side.
