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.

6. Religion and god are make believe. Why can't we just say it?

No, we need to shuffle our feet in deference to the bullshit. Oh, it could be true, maybe. It’s possible, right? Constitutionally protected.

Yeah. So was slavery we got over it. Moved on.

Fuck religion. All religions and their fucking bullshit fictional gods.

7. I saw the headline and it took me a minute to figure out

It was an American that just spouted off a bunch of crazy religious martyr nonsense. I guess you can always use a dead prophet or mythical sky being to justify killing the other side.

Sounds like a mirror of the dead Ayatollah and his supreme council nut cases

8. Religiously Insane Military Commanders,

Thanks to this crazy shit, I look for terrifying terrorist strikes across the United States.

10. Anymore i feel like these bastards KNOW just using the word GOD

Gets a bunch of IDIOTS to believe and follow them!! until the end of the world.

[RussBLib]

12. right. the commanders don't have to believe what they are saying

...as long as the soldiers believe what they are saying.

It really blows me away that we still have so many people out there who insist there is a sky god that wants us to win everything, and wants our enemies to die in the dirt.

But let's remember we have an overload of stupid people in America.
