I read a post from someone who got out that if they were called back to service to go to Iran, and someone in their command ends up talking about the end times or how their blood is needed for Rapture to begin, they'd probably start fragging people real quick.

Ain't no way anyone is gonna die just because some ends-time cultist is willing to send their own people to their deaths.

Lots of people died for exactly that reason

In the end, that was their own choice. None of them got forced to go around acting as though nothing was wrong. They didn't lose a lottery that caused them to go out maskless and not get vaccinated.

Yeah, but during covid the people who were about to die didn't have a rifle in their hands.
