For some U.S. military commanders, the emerging war in Iran is part of a biblical plan to bring about the end of the world as we know it, according to complaints filed by over 100 service members.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has received a litany of complaints about religious ideology seeping into military orders since the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran, independent journalist Jon Larsen first reported.

Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of MRFF, a nonprofit group established 21 years ago that focuses on ensuring constitutional protections for service members, spoke with HuffPost by phone Tuesday morning and illuminated some details of the complaints, which have come from more than three dozen military units situated in at least 30 different military installations.

“We started getting calls in the wee hours of Saturday morning from people saying their commanders were just jubilant about this and trying to tell people, ‘Don’t worry, it’s all part of God’s plan,’” Weinstein said.

Weinstein said the “metric promised” in the Bible’s Book of Revelation is horrifying and should worry everyone.

“They are promised a 200-mile-long river that is four-and-a-half feet deep filled with nothing but the blood that their weaponized version of Jesus will spill at the Battle of Armageddon,” Weinstein said. “That’s a lot of blood.”

Part of what makes the accounts so disturbing, Weinstein said, is that service members aren’t able to push back when they’re given orders that blur the line regarding the separation of church and state.

“This is all about time, place and manner,” he said. “If you’re being proselytized to by your superior, you can’t say, ‘Get out of my face.’ Under the military’s criminal code of justice, insubordination is considered a felony.”

One of the complaints MRFF received over the weekend came from a non-commissioned officer currently stationed outside of Iran but awaiting deployment at a moment’s notice. That officer filed the complaint on behalf of himself and 15 other troops, all of whom are of different religious backgrounds. (For their protection, MRFF is keeping the identity of these service members anonymous.)

The non-commissioned officer, who is Christian, reported to MRFF that a commander told them to tell fellow troops that the war in Iran was “all part of God’s divine plan.” The commander allegedly cited the Book of Revelation and the section specifically referring to Armageddon and the “imminent” return of Jesus Christ.

According to the complaint first reported by Larsen, the commander said President Donald Trump “has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”

The commander “had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy,” the complaint said.

“I and my fellow troops know that it is completely wrong to have to suffer through what our commander said today. It’s not just the separation of church and state … It’s the fact that our commander feels as though he is fully supported and justified by the entire (combat unit’s name withheld) chain of command to inflict his Armageddon views of our attack on Iran on those of us beneath him in the chain of command,” the officer wrote in his complaint to MRFF.

Weinstein said some service members called him on Sunday to report that they were being invited to Bible studies at their commanders’ personal homes to “discuss how this was all part of the plan and it’s all being lived out in the Book of Revelation and Christian eschatology.”

Commanders were “in a hurry” to get subordinates on board, according to the complaints received by MRFF.

Once a service member makes a complaint to MRFF, finding a solution can be difficult. Service members have a few different options, Weinstein said: If troops are told they lack courage, intelligence or bravery because of their religious tradition or lack thereof, they can file an inspector general complaint or an ethics complaint within the military.

“But then you completely out yourself,” Weinstein said. “And when you do that in the military, you become what we call a ‘tarantula on a wedding cake.’ How long do you think that cake lasts at that wedding?”

Troops can complain to military judge advocates, lawyers or chaplains, but the latter can be especially tricky. The majority of the U.S. military’s chaplains are Christian and many are evangelical.

“By itself, that’s fine,” Weinstein said. “But if you are a Christian Nationalist, you don’t pay any attention to the time, place or manner … with any sort of religious extremism, we end up not with little streams, or creeks or brooks, but with oceans and oceans of blood.”

Weinstein said none of this should necessarily be shocking. The evangelical leanings of the Trump administration — and in particular the Department of Defense — have not been a secret. At a prayer breakfast last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the U.S. was a “Christian nation,” and there are prayer meetings at the Pentagon each month.

But putting religion into politics is inflicting “generational damage” onto the U.S. and its military, Weinstein said.

The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.


Pete Hegseth's lie to initiate this


Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is in spin mode about the U.S. soldiers killed in Kuwait as part if the new war with Iran, military officials are telling CBS News.

According to the report, the soldiers who died were in "a makeshift office space" in a tactical operations center at the Shuaiba port in Kuwait. The U.S. ally is entering day four of the barrage of attacks from drones and missiles.

When speaking to the press on Monday morning, Hegseth claimed that there was an incredible weapon that Iran had that managed to make it past air defenses and the fortifications. It turns out that was false.

"You have air defenses, and a lot's coming in, and you hit most of it," Hegseth said Monday during the Pentagon briefing. "Every once in a while, you might have one, unfortunately, we call it a squirter, that makes its way through. And in that particular case, it happened to hit a tactical operations center that was fortified, but these are powerful weapons."

Three top military officials dispute that the operations center was "fortified." Speaking to CBS News, they said it was little more than a triple-wide trailer that left American soldiers no protection. The trailer had some "T-walls" surrounding it, large concrete walls that an individual can walk through when accessing the building, but would protect it from any nearby explosions or shrapnel. There was zero protection for the trailer itself. So, when drones attacked from above, they were sitting ducks.

Two officials told CBS that the attack struck the trailer dead center.

Three officials told the reporters that there was a discussion before the strike about it concentrating too many soldiers in one place which "wasn't defendable."

A fireball engulfed the trailer, which added to the complications in retrieving the bodies of the U.S. soldiers. Two sources told CBS that they never even heard warning sirens ahead of the attack, despite top equipment designed to detect and alert anyone on the ground.

The larger problem, they said, is that the warning siren hadn't worked all week. There's also no counter-rocket system that can shoot down drones like that. There were requests for some kind of protections but the Trump administration never sent anything.

"We basically had no drone defeat capability," the source told CBS.

One of the sources lamented, "I'm sorry for their families' losses. They were nice people doing what their nation asked of them."

Along with the six killed, 18 have been seriously injured.

Ahead of the strikes, the U.S. evacuated the embassy in Israel but nowhere else. The State Department has now called on every American across the entire region to leave Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the UAE and Yemen.

Lis, MAGA American Evangelical Christian Nationalists don't know the difference between Jesus Christ and Donald Trump. They are convinced the latter is carrying out God's will to usher in the former by Armaggeddon.

Russia responded finally with the idea it can nuke the west as the only way to stop Trump.

Vladimir Putin's leading propagandists have issued a chilling warning of potential nuclear strikes against Western allies. A heated debate unfolded between TV host Vladimir Solovyov and Andrey Sidorov, Dean of the School of World Politics at Moscow State University, on the show Sunday Evening With Vladimir Solovyov.

The two clashed over the necessity of nuclear weapons "against certain Western countries", with Solovyov asserting it as Russia's "only" option. He stated, "We should understand that we're only re-emerging as a powerful military-political nation after decades of humiliation in Yeltsin's time.

"We're only getting close to a position where we can do something. Stop thinking as though we are the Soviet Union." It comes after Trump was caught on a hot mic making a chilling threat that could spark WW3.

Sidorov retorted, "I'm absolutely not thinking this way. This is exactly why I believe it's out of the question that we need to use nuclear weapons against certain Western countries."

Russian propagandists have previously toyed with the idea of launching nuclear attacks on the UK, incensed by Britain's support for Ukraine.

I live in one of the ground zeros in the US, directly in between NORAD at the Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, which tracks all satellites, Schriver Air Force Base where the satellites are monitored with offensive retaliatory systems, and Peterson Air Force Base, a traditional aircraft base. We also have a major army base in Fort Carson.

If Russia nukes the US, we are first to go.



Cheyenne Mountain 6 miles west of me. Inside the mountain is NORAD. Russia will nuke this first.
