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.

    Hitchens had a book(2007) religion poisons everything. every few years they whip the faithful into a frenzy hoping to make their delusions real. ‘if we don’t reach our money goals, god will take me home’ said another faith leader. this seems like successful Russian propaganda, today anyway. obscure blogger fans flames. army guys don’t go to church a lot.

    The fucking MAGA clowns, their Jewish allies and their Islamic opponents share a lot in fucking common. All of them are religious nutters and should NOT be involved in politics and the military.

    Can we just launch all the nukes and get it over with already? That’s how this all ends, we already know that, we aren’t going to become better at being people, things are not going to improve. It would be the path of least suffering, at this point.

      Strongly disagree. Don’t lose hope.

        Hope is precisely what landed us in this mess. Reason, pragmatism, and being willing to compromise on ideals is what will get us out, but guess what humans have never shown the capability nor the desire to do as a species throughout literally all of documented human civilization? All we do is escalate, it’s all we’ve ever done, and it has only one possible way of ending. We burned down the first society the moment we made up organized religion, that has been the template ever since. Society is global now, destroying it this time around isn’t something that even the atmosphere will survive.
