High-ranking US military officers are tying the action attack on Iran to fulfilling a Christian prophecy.

@newsguyusa This is seriously f*cked up. And of course there's no way the current regime will be ejecting these nutcases like they should, they'll reward them instead.

according to the lore, for Jesus to return first we get the reign of the AntiChrist:
so this whole Christian pro-Trump mania does make sense

@newsguyusa Good grief, life was so bad under Biden, the world needs to be destroyed?

@newsguyusa Late stage neocon white Christian patriarchy. I did a whole piece about it last year and people scoffed. The troops aren't geniuses but they're not buying it, except for a few white Christian men. Letting go is hard. Note that women outnumber men in the US by 4 million. I'm actually glad we're having the discussion I hope politicians take it up as well. It's the same with #ICE.

@newsguyusa give the fucking death cultists what they want, i guess

christian extremists have been lobotomizing their offspring's capacity for critical thinking for so long, it's genuinely amazing to me that some of them remained coherent enough to become military leaders. I hope they choke on their twisted tongues. cognitive dissoanance is a *skill* to these snakes.

Consider the tattoo on Hegseth's arm:

The term "Deus Vult" is a Latin phrase which roughly translates to "God Wills It" and is thought to have originated as a battle cry during the First Crusade of 1096.

"The phrase 'Deus Vult' is associated with Supremacist groups... to invoke the myth of a white Christian medieval past."

"'Deus Vult' has enjoyed popularity with members of the alt-right because of its perceived representation of the clash of civilizations between the Christian West and the Islamic world."

“What we've been saying forever, if you look back in history whenever you've merged any sort of religious fanaticism with the machinery of the state that conducts war, we do not end up with little babbling brooks, creeks, streams, ponds or lakes. We end up with one thing: oceans and oceans of blood,” [MEFF founder Mikey] Weinstein said.

@newsguyusa I hope they all rapture themselves out of existence. Get some goddamn peace and quiet around here for a change.

@newsguyusa Seems to me that this Armageddon explanation from the brass is designed to give front line war fighters a reason to put their lives on the line. The soldiers aren’t stupid and see as well or better than us that there is no reason for this war
