    “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

    @BrianJopek You can't even have a passing acquaintance with the Bible and think that would work.

          I will be praying to Jesus and the new incarnation of the Pope/Dalai Lama that this is not rue or true.

          BUT
          it probably is. The lunatics are ruining the asylum for the rest of us crazies...

                  @BrianJopek My late father had rough-and-tumble hill-country habits, flew the B26 in WWII, qualified as a professional on the GI Bill, and was a staunch Republican all his life. He wasn't a fan of the Birchers, but took his views from conservative media, and I've often wondered what he would make of the Trump circus. I honestly haven't been sure. Could have gone either way.

                  This would have broken him. He'd say these people were crazy and that Trumpism was a criminal con.

                          @oldguycrusty @mls14 @ArmyGirl @BrianJopek I remember that being used as a punchline in a satirical sketch about Tony Blair "singing from the same hymn sheet" as George W Bush while they were attempting to make their case during the run up to the invasion of Iraq.

                          Back then, Blair was seen as being dragged into it by Bush, and didn't want there to be any perception of it being a 'religious war'. It's scary but unsurprising that they're willing to use that language now, although I doubt that the motivation really is that for everyone involved.

                          (There might not be much in it, but do I wonder about the sequencing of Venezuelan oil tanker captures not long before a SMO pushes oil prices way up.)

                                The only reason why somebody like Hegseth would lose his mind over a corporation stating they would not participate in military mass surveillance of the US population or an automated killing, is because they are planning to do it.

                                This is the same shit that went on in Gaza that is where all of this technology has been field tested already.

                                Gaza is a blueprint

                                @GhostOnTheHalfShell @BrianJopek they better hope their AI systems are secure because it would only take one hacker to turn their automated killing drones against them

                                  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.

                                      @lawyersgunsnmoney @GhostOnTheHalfShell @BrianJopek Have you seen a second source on this? How reliable is the MRFF?

                                        @SearingTruth @samiamsam @BrianJopek He would at the very least be very disappointed.

                                          @BrianJopek Be really curious to hear what they say when that doesn’t happen.

                                          The military didn’t light the signal fire right?
                                          Not enough soldiers believed it hard enough?

                                          @reay @BrianJopek They'll double down, come up with some story like "you've shown that the world is worthy so it's been given a stay of execution" and it'll strengthen rather than weaken their delusion, exactly the same as you see apocalyptic cults.

                                          I should say I'm saying this as someone with a faith of my own. I think this is a distinguishing sign between honest religious belief and a dangerous cult: one is willing to live with doubt and question everything, the other is afraid of ever giving any impression of doubt or uncertainty, so always has to go further in the face of contrary evidence.

                                          I don't think anyone unafraid to acknowledge they might be wrong would come out with that speech. These people are fanatics, but sadly, they get seen as representative and thus give all religion a bad name.
