An American group of spiritual freedom defenders in the military received over 200 complaints about fundamentalist Christian speeches given by commanders
Many U.S. Armed Forces commanders have presented a fundamentalist, Christian explanation for the attack on Iran, describing president Donald Trump as the trailer of the Second Coming, and the conflict itself as ‘warning signal’ Before Armageddon, she informed the Armed Forces spiritual Freedom Foundation (MRFF).
MRFF, an American nonprofit organization promoting the separation of the church from the state, as well as freedom of conscience in the military, reported on Tuesday that she received over 200 complaints from active US military members in connection with extremist Christian speeches given by commanders from the beginning of the American-Israeli attack on Iran.
One of the complaints was filed by a Petty Officer (NCO) of a combat-ready unit that could be sent to Iran's war region at any time.
Unit Commander “He urged us to tell our soldiers that all of this was part of the divine plan” and specifically referred to many quotations from Revelation relating to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.” - the officer wrote.
“He said that “President Trump was anointed by Jesus to light a signal fire in Iran that would origin Armageddon and commemorate his return to Earth”. He had a broad grin on his face erstwhile he said it, what made his message seem even crazier” – he noted.
Founder and CEO of MRFF, Mikey Weinstein, U.S. Air Force veteran and legal counsel in Reagan's administration, said most of the people who contacted the group reported "unlimited euphoria of its commanders and command hierarchy" due to allegedly ‘biblically sanctioned’ The wars with Iran.
“Any soldier who tries to exploit his subordinates, spreading his blood-filled, Christian nationalistic dreams in flames of this latest, unapproved legislature attack on Iran, should be quickly, aggressively and openly accused” said Weinstein in a statement.
MRFF has long been beating the alarm for the rapidly increasing Christian-nationalist sentiments among the highest ranking U.S. military commanders.
The organization has repeatedly criticized U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for his beginning spiritual action, including attending meetings with Bible studies and hosting extremist ministers of Christian nationalists at the Pentagon.
