Among other bat shit crazy things they believe that the End Times will be hastened by a war in the middle east, which Israel will win. This will usher in Armageddon and all the "true Christians" will be raptured into heaven and everybody else (including Jews, Muslims, Hindus, most people who call themselves Christian but aren't the right kind of Christians, and of course the rest of us heathens will go straight to hell.

The fact that a drunkard who actually believes this shit is now in charge of the military is Really Bad.
