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.

“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

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus

@BrianJopek I've had bibles waved during commander's calls, been released from duty for Christian holidays, opened mandatory fun with a 'non-denominational' (yet somehow always Christian) invocations, and been reminded at every turn that gawd is on our side.

While the force writ large is increasingly No Pref, the officer corps remains in the grip of a persistent fundie infestation.

Good luck making your accession numbers when women, Black, Latinx, LGBTQ, and No Prefs stop showing up.
