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 Military Religious Freedom Foundation demands that all personnel in the Department of Defense (not “War") remember and fully internalize that the oaths they swear are not to the narcissistic, sociopathic, orange, POS tRump, nor to little Petey ‘Kegseth’ nor to Jesus Christ.

    This made me think that MRFF might not be reporting objectively about this

      That, and the MRFF site uses AI generated photographs, which always makes me question the veracity of everything associated with it. It’s not an unbelievable claim for me, I’ve been hearing people call for holy war since 9/11, but the way it’s being presented is setting off all kinds of red flags.

      It just feels like I’m eating the onion here.

      You’re not wrong, but the only thing there that’s not arguably correct is calling hegseth little and I guess misspelling his name.
