“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 … from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations”

Besides the idiocy of believing in "biblical prophecy" to begin with, anyone who *believes* in "Armageddon" and *wants* it to happen and *wants* to help bring it about?

Fuck Them.

Fuck Them All.

@fsinn The pope wants nothing to do with him so no. Also if Ascended Master Jesus was to return to earth he wouldn’t ask a friend of Epstein to get the ball rolling.

@AAA365a @fsinn bold of you to assume jesus isn't a Mormon tbh

@fsinn Right. US evangelicals (some of whom are my relations) are gonna absolutely *love* this. At least until a loaf of bread costs $50 and their electric grid succumbs to sabotage.

@fsinn on a more serious note though:

”Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”

Fucking religious lunatics.

@fsinn @inthehands

@fsinn What a travesty of heresy is this Armageddon stuff. It is not at all what the Christian writers of the New Testament believed and God, as I understand god, would not choose such a man as Trump to call his "Anointed." Our Prince of Peace was not a warrior - and no warrior will ever be seen as a bringer of peace.

This world has no need of Holy Wars.

If anything, all this is to throw out any strategies that might be in place to bring Republicans down in the Mid-terms.

@fsinn they're going to be very disappointed when Jesus doesn't turn up and it seems those who believe this seem to have forgotten one of the key tenets of Christianity which is about loving thy neighbour not blasting them to buggery

@fsinn Jesus H. Christ. The entire Trump Junta need to be raptured in the nethers with something along the lines of a former anti-tank rifle, it's the only language they understand.

@fsinn The US military shouldn't even be given plastic nursery scissors; they'll hurt both themselves and others.

@fsinn Seeking to verify this, I looked up the Military Religious Freedom Foundation & its website https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org where such a statement might logically be posted, & do not see it there. Has this info been checked?

@AquaClaire @fsinn @boggo @BrianJopek Thank you for checking. I too was unable to find anything to independently corroborate the story. Which is not to say it didn't happen, just that outrage-inducing stories need even more careful checking than ones that don't tickle our biases...

@kauer @AquaClaire @fsinn @BrianJopek yep, I mean it’s something I’d imagine would happen that would outrage me but there is 0 evidence this actually happened 🙃

@fsinn @boggo @AquaClaire @BrianJopek Thanks! Yes, now it does have a corresponding story on the source site. That story wasn't there last night (my time). This is certainly an improvement. Hopefully another outlet will be able to provide other first-hand accounts from military people.

@fsinn ...I do not know what the Epstein War equivalent will be to the Vietnam-era practice of "fragging".....applied to f*khead unit leaders, officers, etc ending their f*ktwittery.......but we may be on the brink of soon finding out with this kind of Christian-Armageddon-"Jesus is here wearing a shitty blue suit & says END IT ALL" kind of f*kedup shit-talk by military leaders....

That's what we used to call a "Crusade".
