Donald Trump's commanders have been accused of telling troops that the war with Iran is part of God's plan for Armageddon. The complaints span more than 40 different units across 30 military sites, first reported on veteran journalist Jonathan Larsen's Substack. The troops are currently outside the Iran theater but on 'ready-support' status, meaning they could be deployed at any time. A White House official denied that commanders were giving orders based on end times scripture, adding that the war had three aims: destroy Iran's missiles, munitions industry and navy. Trump initially said the war would last four to five weeks but has since warned it could go on 'far longer.'
