A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.

From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

    Just… What is even going on? I don’t remember people being this stupid and cruel. This is after 2 world wars. How could people not see that they’re doing the same things that the other dickheads did to gain enough power to butcher people? People are mad and stupid

    The NCO said they were Christian and emailed the MRFF on behalf of 15 troops, including at least 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew. (Full email printed below.) The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

    How can you go in front of your mixed troops and start waxing lyrical about your specific religion? Like what sort of brain disease leads to this? Even if you are religious, you have to know that other people take their other religions just as seriously and recognize that perhaps it’s better not to sow discord between them if they are supposed to battle together.

    You’d have been called antisemitic for saying this exact thing yesterday.

    The reason every Christians nation has turned a blind eye to the Gaza genocide is to fulfill a biblical prophecy of Jews controlling the entirety of Biblical Israel.

    So these ignorant, murderous heretics think they can force God’s hand?

    Their hubris knows no bounds.

    So the Epstein distraction became an Epstein connection. They pretty much believe they’re the descendants of archons ready to bring yaldabaoth here through the end of world scenarios

    I’ve been saying for a while now that the biggest threat facing humanity isn’t climate change but religion. By far.

    Well now we know what the new Nazi ideology is. I guess it is different than making a blue eyed blonde haired race but I think that was possible with inbreeding.
