US troops were told Iran war 'anointed by Jesus' to bring on Armageddon, watchdog says US  commanders from every arm of the military have told their units that the  war  on  Iran  is “anointed by Jesus” and would bring about his return to Earth as part of the "Armageddon", resulting in scores of complaints from serving members of the military. The  Military Religious Freedom Foundation  (MRFF), an organisation dedicated to ensuring that all members of the US military are guaranteed religious freedom, told Middle East Eye on Tuesday that it had received more than 200 similar complaints from personnel serving in the army, navy, air force, marine corps, and space force.   The complaints received by the MRFF, first  reported  by journalist  Jonathan Larsen , have come from more than 40 units and span at least 30 military installations.
