this sounds like horrible slop, but i will grant that the u.s. military finding out about what is effectively an eldritch horror, a godlike manifestation of fear itself, and thinking "yeah we can make this a weapon to fight communists," is a historically coherent response.
Yeah this is some raiders of the lost ark shit, I hope IT ends up melting their faces off
yeah, that's my read too. us military discovers existential horror and some shit wizard up the chain's first thought is "how do we deploy this against our ideological rivals?" holds up.
ive found a lot of horror stories have this kind of commentary on nuclear weapon development and leveraging of nuclear holocaust.... like the unspeakable abomination isn't the scary part, the scary part is there really are faceless people in leadership roles who would knowingly, deliberately unleash it on the world to climb even higher.
