Considering that Trump may be the anti-Christ there may be something to that, but still, you can't run a military on it.

God could create a Third Temple in Jerusalem out of the rocks beneath Hegseth's feet.

Vicious pencil-necks to imagining magic formulas won't move the needle one jot.

You can love religion or hate religion; believe in God or be an atheist; but at this moment in time, all of us are at the mercy of MAGA's stupid superstitions.

Reports are they're turning Tehran into Damascus / Gaza.

Indiscriminately blowing up the entire city and other major cities as well.

Killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Oh? We are doing Armageddon now?

Damn it! I wish they could have at least given U.S. citizens a heads up.

I still have stuff to do!

I remember Turd2's folly into Iraq to get that man who tried to kill his daddy. The news was full of preachers in makeshift pools of blue tarps laid in a hole dug in the sand... for baptism...

Jayzus was on our side and we still lost two wars...

MAGA "Christians" are all for this Armageddon stuff because, due to an incredibly poor reading of scripture in a likewise incredibly poor movie series called "Left Behind"... they get the F outta the way before any of the bad stuff happens!

Sorry, but that's not in the Story. Oh, there's an AC or two and an Armageddon and all, and the current world geopolitics and the current US Pres fit the description.... but one KNOWS the time, not even Yeshua, but only the Father.

SO, sometimes... "Sometimes You Bomb Iran"

[Chorus]
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
It's all part of God's plan

[Verse 1]
Well, if you want that peace
You can't be quiet
When there's a picture of you hanging out on an island

So you best be getting your B-2s
And go bomb Iran

[Verse 2]
Politicians and preachers get hard as a bone
Talking holy war
It's two birds, one stone
Get your Ted Cruzes and your Huckabees
Somebody set ole Lindsay Graham free
Flip Miss Tulsi, get the war machine rolling

Where it's gonna stop
Ain't nobody knowing

[Chorus]
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
It's all part of God's plan

Well, bomb 'em to hell
Every boy and every girl
Be the change in the regime
You want to see in the world

Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran

[Verse 4]
Bomb 'em to hell
Beat all the thugs
That Palantir's one hell of a drug

Government contractors salivating
There's real good money in a liberation
Same playbook as 2003
Looks familar to you
Looks familiar to me

[Chorus]
Sometimes you get out your B-2s
And go bomb Iran

Always look at the bright side of Life!

When they get raptured we get all their stuff!

AND we don't have to listen to their hateful crap anymore!

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best

And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing

When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing
And
Always look on the bright side of life
(Come on)
Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow
So always look on the bright side of death
A just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

"Reports" from where? Your usual sources that are always wrong?

This bs has been part of military culture since Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, at least.
Here's the payoff.
Having people in favor of the end of the world because it might validate their faith in an imaginary invisible sky guy in positions of power has always been a bad idea.
