11. Sadly, I think you overestimate the interest of much of the media in the far right "Christian" infiltration

of the US military. Sure, "take a breath" - which means investigating the credentials of the source. It turns out it's a well-known journalist (MRFF calls him "veteran" ), with a trustworthy history of who he's worked for, and a history of working with MRFF. So it's not surprising he's first out of the blocks with a story of theirs.

And look, now it's Tuesday morning, MRFF's own write-up is on their own site: https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2026/03/mrff-inundated-with-complaints-of-gleeful-commanders-telling-troops-iran-war-is-part-of-gods-divine-plan-to-usher-in-the-return-of-jesus-christ/

and at their link, they link back to Larsen's substack article: https://myemail.constantcontact.com/MRFF-Inundated-with-Complaints-of-Gleeful-Commanders-Telling-Troops-Iran-War-is--Part-of-God-s-Divine-Plan--to-Usher-in-Return-o.html?soid=1101766362531&aid=3OTPFAZxIrI
