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

Lunatic apocalyptic evangelicalism in the military imposed from the top down, I think Hegseth likely has something to do with this. I don't think it's a very effective choice to motivate the troops though when only a fraction of them would subscribe to that kind of bullshit. "We're going to end the world for Donald Trump and White Jesus" might give some second thoughts

Every day gnosticism makes a lot more sense.

“Cause the apocalypse because Jesus” literally sounds like a trick the devil would pull.
