A complaint to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) alleges a commander used end-times theology to frame U.S. operations against Iran, and MRFF claims a flood of similar reports across multiple bases and branches. The account centres on a redacted NCO message describing morale and cohesion damage from religiously charged command messaging.
โThese calls have one damn thing in freaking common; our MRFF clients report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new โbiblically-sanctionedโ war is clearly the undeniable sign of the expeditious approach of the fundamentalist Christian โEnd Timesโ โฆโ Mikey Weinstein, Military Religious Freedom Foundation president. โThis morning our commander opened up the combat readiness status briefing by urging us to not be โafraidโ as to what is happening with our combat operations in Iran right now.โ Non-commissioned officer, complaint filed with MRFF (identity withheld). โHe urged us to tell our troops that this was โall part of Godโs divine planโ โฆ [and] referenced โฆ the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.โ Non-commissioned officer, complaint filed with MRFF. โ [O]ur commander feels as though he is fully supported and justified by the entire โฆ chain of command to inflict his Armageddon views โฆ on those of us beneath him in the chain of command.โ Non-commissioned officer, complaint filed with MRFF.
