@HistoPol @BrianJopek well if its true, then this is a state-sponsored religious terror attack, not a war
(1/2)
I would not go this far. - This statement, which seems veracious to me, as a deep fake would have taken a LOT of work, was issued by a "mere" "combat-unit commander," not the "Commander-in-Chief".
That anyone would go this far on the battlefield, even knowing that quite a substiantial number of his/her (wo)men were destined to be non-Christian, is quite surprising and disturbing.
Please also note that I highly doubt that the commander in question will be...

In my 21 1/2 years of military service I don’t recall ever running into anything like this. This is fucked up beyond all recognition.
#FUBAR“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.” - Jonathan Larsen

Makes one wonder if pope Urban II was in the Epstein files as well. -

@HistoPol @BrianJopek would be good to fact check this - I read somwhere that there were multiple complaints - but it could all be just a few blogs, not sure

I have a hunch that #Trump and #Hegseth will be gleefully chuckling inside...
The two most intelligent of the four, #SteveBannon and #JDVance for similar reasons.

Fact check:Thank you for the reminder. You are absolutely right: don't judge ab book by its cover:

The articel states right in the beginning:
"The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night."
There are numerous further sources: [see below}

@BrianJopek Another reason I am not religious. It is used to excuse so much death and destruction.
@Iveyline
Any ideology with enough power always starts behaving like this, the nominally atheist Soviet Union and China also murdered millions. -
@BrianJopek
#ModestProposal : Put soldiers back in charge of the military…@knutson_brain @BrianJopek
The current setup is still the less bad one, even a quick glance into a history book should be enough to see how bad it was with soldiers in charge.(I'm from a country that already had 2 military dictatorships)

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @BrianJopek they better hope their AI systems are secure because it would only take one hacker to turn their automated killing drones against them
That is the $.64 question you might imagine that they are secure but the commercial record of security for these companies is not exactly stellar

@BrianJopek religion needs to die in a fire. I understand there are excellent human beings who are religious, but IMHO, pussyfooting around and being polite about “faith without evidence” is a slippery slope to this kind of batshit insanity. Where does one draw the line about mystical belief?
@nomdeb @BrianJopek I don't really care if people have mystical beliefs. Just leave me and the rest of the world out of it. If their mystical belief tells them to kill or even to legislate away other peoples' freedoms, then they can get fucked.

@giordy @BrianJopek Wait, we're still at the Old Testament, you're running to the New one.
@luc0x61 @giordy @BrianJopek
Even the Old Testament didn't work like that.
Old Testament law is that foreigners must be treated the same and with same rights as citizens; and it also forbid running national census to make it impossible for the king to build a large military. -

No man will know the day or the hour.They're trying to force God's hand?
May they recieve that reward and swiftly

They think they can bring about Biblical Armageddon, and that somehow it will work out well for them, instead of what it means to most people: the catastrophic end of the world!
I don't have the right vocabulary to describe these misguided delusionists.

@kimlockhartga As I mentioned, I never ran across anything like this in my 21 1/2 years and that’s not to say it didn’t exist privately with some of these people but I’ve been out for almost 15 years and obviously, things can change. If assholes like the FOTUS can give the blatant racism and bigotry that was always there but kinda out of the mainstream its door to get out there, I could see this happening as well.

there will come a day when everyone will acknowledge that pretending white evangelical Christianity was anything other than evil was itself an evil...
all this, because girls & women complained about being bought & sold by rich men!
