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.”
Anecdotally, conversations with the terminally online type of leftists shows many to be still quite self-satisfied about not voting for Kamala, though.
Because, bOtHsIdEs would have started a religious war on behalf of a secular country.
You’re not wrong, and to be clear I voted for Kamala just like I begrudgingly voted for Biden in 2020, and if somebody wants to argue things would be just as fucking horrible right now with Kamala as president, I would assume their a troll or just a contrarian not worth arguing with.
But if we’re looking at this as a continuum of who is to blame if the world were to end today, I do have to say I think there are plenty of blameworthy people in addition to those on the left who either fell for propaganda or refused to compromise their values, and honestly (if not naively) believed they were making the right choice.
We can’t change that now, but if the world ends this way, as of this day I honestly would have to say the establishment Democrats are edging towards more complicit than blameless, even while knowing this is their chance to prove why they deserve the vote.
If I could do 2024 again, I would still vote for Kamala, but I have to say, it makes me more than just a little angry to see so little effort by the Democrats to consider their constituents before their donors.
Why Can’t Top Democrats Just Say “No War With Iran”?
The dem party leaders have complained about how this war was started, haven’t heard much actual opposition to the war itself from them
They probably wouldn’t have been so sloppy, but the messaging I heard was they would have backed up Israel unconditionally
Which is why we need anti-zionist liberals to run against them in the primaries. Find enough of those, I’ll vote for the ones I can vote for…the rest is up to the people.
Yes, because the US wasn’t sucking Israeli cock when Biden was president. It’s not guaranteed this exact situation would’ve played out if Harris was president, but fundamentally it’s Tel Aviv setting the schedule here, not DC. It’s more than likely a Harris admin would’ve just taken more care to manufacture consent first (and not call the affair a religious war, but secular bombs aren’t any better than religious bombs).
PS: Leftists unwilling to vote blue don’t exist in large enough numbers to skew any US elections.
Leftists too lazy to register to vote exist in large numbers.
