Former Army secretary praises Ukraine’s wartime innovation
The supplied left-of-center and center reports agree that former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll praised Ukraine’s military innovation in his first public appearance since resigning.

It also keeps mercy and concern for people harmed by war, including vulnerable civilians and the persecuted church, from being eclipsed by admiration for innovation.
Nobody is asking: How should Christians judge military innovation in light of its effects on neighbors, the oppressed, and those suffering for their faith?

Scripture connections
Passages readers commonly bring to a story like this, shown with their surrounding context.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Ethical application · WEBTest all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
A reader might connect the command to test all things with the need to evaluate military innovations rather than praising or rejecting them reflexively. What is good should be judged by truthful evidence and by its consequences for justice, mercy, and human life.
Read the surrounding context (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophesies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
This interpretation is debated. Christians differ over whether this principle permits military technology under just-war reasoning or points toward a more pacifist rejection of warfare.
