> A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.

@feld I've been wondering where the headline came from. So it doesn't seem like a whole-of-DoW memo.

Some commanders told their troops that men could have periods.

but "men" / "man" is a social construct. e.g., Aren't females included among your fellow "countrymen"? The term "man" does not exclusively mean "biological male" which is hard for people to accept when they don't know any better. So this is a strange example to use. I agree that it's unusual that this conversation to even be happening between commanders and troops.
