Den Truppen wird gesagt, dass sie sich auf „Armageddon“ im Iran vorbereiten sollen

>One commander had a “big grin” on his face while saying Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran,“ a service member said.

lol, what the…

What the ever-loving absolute *fuck*:

>For some U.S. military commanders, the emerging war in Iran is part of a biblical plan to bring about the end of the world as we know it, according to complaints filed by over 100 service members.

>The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received a litany of complaints about religious ideology seeping into military orders since the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran, independent journalist Jon Larsen first reported.

>Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of MRFF, a nonprofit group established 21 years ago that focuses on ensuring constitutional protections for service members, spoke with HuffPost by phone Tuesday morning and illuminated some details of the complaints, which have come from more than three dozen military units situated in at least 30 different military installations.

>“We started getting calls in the wee hours of Saturday morning from people saying their commanders were just jubilant about this and trying to tell people, ‘Don’t worry, it’s all part of God’s plan,’” Weinstein said.

>Weinstein said the “metric promised” in the Bible’s Book of Revelation is horrifying and should worry everyone.

>“They are promised a 200-mile-long river that is four-and-a-half feet deep filled with nothing but the blood that their weaponized version of Jesus will spill at the Battle of Armageddon,” Weinstein said. “That’s a lot of blood.”

>Part of what makes the accounts so disturbing, Weinstein said, is that service members aren’t able to push back when they’re given orders that blur the line regarding the separation of church and state.

>“This is all about time, place and manner,” he said. “If you’re being proselytized to by your superior, you can’t say, ‘Get out of my face.’ Under the military’s criminal code of justice, insubordination is considered a felony.”
…
According to the complaint first reported by Larsen, the commander said President Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”

>The commander “had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy,” the complaint said.
…
Weinstein said some service members called him on Sunday to report that they were being invited to Bible studies at their commanders’ personal homes to “discuss how this was all part of the plan and it’s all being lived out in the Book of Revelation and Christian eschatology.”

>Commanders were “in a hurry” to get subordinates on board, according to the complaints received by MRFF.

Born to late to die in the Middle East, born to early to die in the Middle East, born just in time to die in the Middle East

Is this fulfilling the prophecy that we’ll protect Israel from the Persians, so Jesus will return? smh The Bible has gotten more innocent people killed than any other book. It’s time we move past it as a society.

Christian extremism is nuts

I’m so tired of religious nuts in this country. When I lived in the UAE in the 90s religion was never jammed down our throats by locals. That was one of the major things I noticed when we moved to the states in 2000. Religion and assholes everywhere.

Le evangelicals have been trying to take over the military for decades. It was a known problem in the ’90s when I was in and the FBI used to track it. The new officers I met were all complaining about the evangelicals, forcing them to go to church dinners and stuff.

I wonder if it has occured to any of them that Trump is the Anti-Christ and the USA is on the evil side of Armageddon.

So then Trump is the Anti-christ? 

Absolutely ridiculous. We’re blowing up elementary school girls and our troops are being told insane fundamentalist doomsday prophecies? I’m sorry but what exact grounds do we have to call the Iranians the radical nutjobs here? There’s one hell of a beam in our eye at the moment.

Someone needs to tell these yahoos that bombing the middle East won’t make Jesus return any sooner.

Just hear me out: We know this is a death cult. It is Lent. Are they trying to bring on the ‚End Times‘ just in time for the holiest day in the Christian calendar?

I don’t think these people have actually read the Bible. If they had, then they’d realize they’re the baddies. 

Congress could act at any time. 

When I was in the Army, forty years ago, one of my fellow soldiers used to pray to be at Armageddon. He wanted to be knee deep in blood. I guess that he was a psychopath. I stayed away from him.
