Onward Christian Solider!

This is the cross that the
Crusaders wore  

I've been keeping an eye on the generals and officers that Hegseth has been firing and hiring, I am worried that they are all Christian Nationalist... that he is creating an "Army of God!"

Commanders Accused of Framing Iran War as Biblical Mandate, Jesus' 'Return'

An organization that has been fighting against religious extremism in the United States military for two decades has reported more than 200 new complaints since Saturday’s initial strikes against Iran, with members across all services claiming that high-ranking officers are tying the mission overseas to fulfilling a Christian prophecy.

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to independent journalist Jonathan Larsen as published on Substack.

That complaint was made by a non-commissioned officer and provided to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), which from Saturday morning through Monday evening received and logged more than 110 complaints about commanders in every branch of the military.

I don’t know about you, but I find it disturbing that military commanders are relating the war to the end of the world.

The Baptist News reported that,

U.S. military personnel are being briefed by superiors that ongoing combat operations in Iran are willed by God and will help usher in the end times, according to independent journalist Jonathan Larsen.

In one instance, the commander of a combat unit told noncommissioned officers “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 noncommissioned officer,” Larsen reported on his Substack.

The report draws on similar complaints to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation from personnel in more than 40 units located in at least 30 installations. The complaints have been coming in since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran Feb. 28.

I worry that this could lead toward a coup attempt if Trump were ever impeached. Having an army that believes Trump was appointed by God is downright scary.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has made no secret of his adherence to a nationalist and militaristic form of Christianity. He has established prayer meetings within the Pentagon and recently claimed Americans go to heaven if they die in combat.

“These calls have one damn thing in freaking common: Our MRFF clients (service members who seek MRFF aid) report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new ‘biblically-sanctioned’ war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian ‘end times’ as vividly described in the New Testament book of Revelation,” Weinstein said.

Larsen wrote: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has enshrined evangelical Christianity at the uppermost levels of the U.S. military, airing monthly prayer meetings throughout the Pentagon. Last year, the Pentagon confirmed to me that Hegseth attends a weekly White House Bible study. It’s led by a preacher who says God commands America to support Israel.”

Are you worried yet? And this was written by a Baptist newspaper.

They want war. They want to bring about the end of the world. And these people have the nuclear codes.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth makes no secret of the fact that he sees himself as a crusader leading the battle toward Armageddon and the return of Jesus. I fear he wants to turn the United States into a Christian version of Iran.

Does that cross on Hegseth’s chest look familiar? It is the Crusader’s Cross (also known as the Jerusalem Cross), the one that knights wore into battle against the “infidels.” He also reportedly has “Deus Vult” tattooed on his arm — “God wills it,” the battle cry of the First Crusade in 1095.

He wrote a book literally called American Crusade, calling for a modern-day holy war against Muslims. He also got a new tattoo reading “كافر” (kafir) in Arabic — a deliberate provocation against 2 billion Muslims from the man commanding the most powerful military on Earth. He is the embodiment of the American Taliban.

Are you scared yet?
