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.

        The fascism almost means less when you acknowledge that they are literally trying to destroy the world, well, other than that’s how they plan to do it. But that’s what they’re trying to do, destroy the world with fire like “god” said “he” would do. They are trying to force “god’s” hand by lining up all the prerequisites from their fucking fairytale. Religion is the worst cancer on the planet.
