US military commanders have been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical “end times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops, according to complaints made to a watchdog group.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) says it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across all branches of the armed forces, including the marines, air force and space force.
One complainant, identified as a noncommissioned officer (NCO) in a unit that could be deployed “at any moment to join” operations against Iran, told MRFF in a complaint viewed by the Guardian that their commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”.
“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth’”, the NCO added

Den amerikanska militäret har enligt Hegseth rensat ut allt som har med woke stt göra, och verkar ha ersätt det med religiösa fanatiker.
Att ha befäl som på fullaste allvar tror att kriget kommer att framkalla apokalypsen och Jesus återkomst måste ju vara en varningsklocka för den kognitiva kvalitén hos befälet. De låter som talibaner.
Hur påverkar det beslutsfattningen om Jesus kommer tillbaka nästa vecka?
Hur påverkar det stidsmoralen?
Hur kan detta vara acceptabelt i en västerländsk militär 2026?
Denna tråd är främst menad att diskutera hur den amerikanska militären påverkas av utredningarna den nya administrationen genomfört samt religiös och politisk extremism som vi nu ser tecken på.
