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 about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

    Hey, off topic, but do you know any good ways I could get back in touch with the community, as an anti-Zionist atheist?

      Honestly, i wish. Ive been struggling to find a safe place to reconnect with that heritage myself. A lot of the standard temples are pretty heavy on zionism. Thats why i was so happy to find out about Torah Jews. I dont know of a Torah specific temple near me though. The most luck ive had is at Unitarian Universalist churches and the internet but that is not the same as having local community of your people
