The Pentagon Is Posting Cryptic Biblical Messages on Social Media
The Pentagon posted biblical messages, including 'SEND ME,' on official social media accounts as U.S. forces faced warnings regarding the war with Iran's strain on resources. These posts marked an institutional shift, following months of controversy concerning the role of religion within the Defense Department and specific commanders' statements. The agency declined to explain whether these biblical passages were intended as an expression of faith, proselytizing, or a coordinated communications strategy.
