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.

    Worked for Afghanistan.

    Ignorant comment. 176,000 Afghanis died and they are still at war. This thread is a bunch of clueless keyboard warriors.

      Yeah, not OP, but I’m well aware of how much it would suck. This should be plan Z. It’s still an important one, though.

      I believe they’re talking of the Russia-Afghan war not the USA-Afghan war. But if you think many lives wouldn’t be lost under occupation you’re obviously not arguing with a full deck.
