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).

Wow...what a way to divorce the US military from reality and play into a fantasy conspiracy that Israel is somehow central to some scheme by the Illuminati, the Jesuits, the Freemasons, and the Zionists.

Western leaders folks...these champions are losing their marbles all over the floor.

Tell me again what's the difference between this and when you called "dangerous barbarians" to those islamic countries calling for a yihad?

Oh, right... they had the wrong color of skin and the wrong god...

Tell me it's a Russian/Chinese bot. Because if real, it's some Daesh level motive, so it's pretty concerning

I didn't see this shit on GameFaqs! That's all it takes to kick off the end of the world?

Israel know about this? I mean Jesus, they don't recognize him as a son of God. Why Israel is fighting for someone they don't give a shit?

Pretty sure that bit about rapture also mentions the antichrist proclaiming himself as savior, right?

Best case scenario these nut bags wipe themselves out. Worst case scenario nuclear armageddon.

On the plus side maybe we can finally put the whole Revelations part of the Bible into the trash can where it (and the rest of it, frankly) belongs

once the 7 trumpets and angels return you, they will smite humans instead.

These people need to be stopped.

Why do are these people doing it in such a complicated way? They have thousands of nukes, they could immanentize the eschaton today. Just launch all nukes into Russia and China. Problem solved, armageddon achieved.

That's exactly what they're talking about. It's too overt to be called foreshadowing, this is more like fiveshadowing.

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They need everything they're doing to line up with the prophecies in their magic books

So does that mean Donnie is going to go to Iran personally? To light a fire on the ground? With his own manly bear hands?

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Seems likely. I wonder who will play the part of Jesus. Russell Brand?

[–] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 23 hours ago

I vote for Bill Bailey.
What was it we were talking about?

I'm pretty sure Israel doesn't feel that way.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml -1 points 19 hours ago

I'm sure we will be able to vote our way out of this.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And they believed it?
