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

this shit is bananas

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
idk the air force in particular has been full of evangelical freaks for decades at all levels.
It’s impressive how much of the American jingoist slop is just a thin façade over the insecurities of politicians who won’t admit that their industry has collapsed.
“Oooo look this fighter jet is so reliable and omnipotent we must worship it as if it were an idol of Christ”
Yeah bro it definitely isnt cope for the fact you’re still fielding an inferior MiG-29 counterpart 200 years after it was meant to be replaced by your ultimate stealthy superweapon.
imo its bc theyre the so called “smart” branch so the venn diagram of “evangelical freaks who are also homeschooled and think theyre smart bc mom said so” go for that one. bonus points for being in civil air patrol bc that org is absolutely infested with homeschoolers and is basically a pipeline to the air force for them
source: former evangelical freak who was homeschooled who went for the air force and fortunately washed out of basic before i could graduate to do war crimes.
Every day gnosticism makes a lot more sense.
“Cause the apocalypse because Jesus” literally sounds like a trick the devil would pull.
nah I’d wager most of them will follow their orders like good little brainwashed baby killers.
if the lore keeps being this shitty, they’re not all going to be in the mood for mass murder
