Troops have logged more than 110 complaints about such comments with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

Without any clear message coming from the White House with regard to the purpose of the Iran war, U.S. military commanders have turned to Jesus, apparently telling American troops that the war is “biblically sanctioned.”

The U.S. joined Israel in striking Iran early Saturday morning. By Monday evening, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, or MRFF, was “inundated” with complaints, receiving more than 110 grievances from U.S. military personnel stationed at dozens of sites across the Middle East, reported independent journalist Jonathan Larsen.

One such note included an anecdote from a noncommissioned officer, who reported that their commander had “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.”

The NCO’s complaint was lodged on behalf of 15 troops, including 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew, according to Larsen. The officer stated that such remarks “destroy morale and unit cohesion and are in violation of the oaths we swore to support the [C]onstitution.”

tldr: Trump is an antichrist and so are his followers and worshippers.

Welcome to the evangelical followers of Trump...the modern GOP (Guardians Of Pedophiles). Yes, they're missing the HUGE point that the only way Trump brings about Armageddon is by becoming the antichrist...which honestly, Trump is so antithetical to the teachings of Christ that he IS an ANTICHRIST. Maybe not THE Antichrist...but an antichrist(ian). Modern evangelical theology in America is NOT a true Christian religion as it views Jesus works as too liberal. They don't like that. Very few of them have EVER read the entire bible...despite their constant drooling out "catchy verses". They cherry pick only the things that can be twisted to fit their worldview. I'm not bragging, but I did read the entire Bible (although I skipped most of the long genealogies). It changed my religious beliefs and turned me against most organized religions (Christianity, Islam, judaism...all of the Abrahamic religions.) Now, I'm more atheist who agrees with the liberal views of Jesua. His main, constant message was to be kind to everyone and not be a hypocrite while caring for the poor, widowed, and orphaned. He supposedly healed the sick with miracles and usually told them not to tell anyone, but to keep it a secret...he seemed to avoid fame for much of how ministry...he preached a message, but asked for no credit for himself - if he existed, he tried to serve God and his fellow man. Modern evangelical followers cannot match Jesus' teachings with their own feelings and hatred (which draws on harsh old testament rules and laws and ignores the words of Christ. Tell an evangelical that they were charged by the Man whose name they claim to feed the poor, no matter what, and they will immediately regurgitate THE SAME verse, in which Jesus supposedly said that if a man won't work, then don't give him food. I disagree with that verse because there are disabled people in the world who cannot work. Plus, Jesus is reported to say that ONLY ONCE. He said to feed the poor, without any conditions, many times more. But, evangelicals are cherry pickers with a subset of scripture that they use to support their inner hatred of their fellow man. Islam and Judaism do the same.

I'll close this unfortunate wall of text with this: Evangelicals are a cult of Semi-Christian bigots who claim to love the sinner but hate the sin...but the truth: Evangelicals always have mouths full of scripture that warms their hearts filled with hate.
