"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)."
"Take command responsibility away from these people immediately-and, yes, that includes the Secretary of Talking About War, who committed his life to the Precious Blood of Jack Daniels years ago-because they are telling soldiers that they are naught but cannon fodder in an eschatological conflict. That is not only completely banana-pants, but also, it's directly in conflict with the words of The Founder himself as recorded by Matthew."
Military commanders across multiple branches and installations have been telling soldiers that war with Iran is part of God's plan and that President Trump was anointed by Jesus to initiate Armageddon. Over 110 complaints from more than 40 units across 30 military installations were logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. This represents a dangerous conflation of military operations with eschatological theology, treating soldiers as expendable participants in a religious end-times narrative. The author argues this violates both religious freedom principles and Jesus's explicit teachings against false prophets and misleading claims about Christ's return, as recorded in Matthew's Gospel.
