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.

    That’s the one facet of detachment we already have well underway. The big debate right now is German-Norwegian vs. Korean subs. German self-propelled howitzers are also a shoe-in.

    (Meanwhile, the big goal with trade is to get America down to just half of our business in a decade, and people seem to think that’s ambitious)

    Edit: Oh, and the F-35 purchase is being gone through yet again, and Saab is trying to sell us their plane instead yet again.

      There are a lot of reasons to despise Trump, don’t get me wrong

      … but I think his total disruption of our typical web of influence is a GOOD THING, in the long run.

      The USA imperial beast (which is really just the UK imperial beast with a change in headquarters) has played the “good guys” for far too long, it’s nice to have the cards out on the table for all to see. Not the good guys. Haven’t been the good guys for a very long time. Those days are gone.

      French make really good howitzer trucks. I was considering one since they are designed to suit 4 operators and they’re roughly the same price as a house in Missisauga or Guelph. I figure you have to be able to finance one if you can live in it.
