Army says faith-based group can no longer put Bible verses on dog tags after complaint

When Army Captain Russell Rippetoe was killed in action on April 2, 2003 -- the first combat casualty of Operation Iraqi Freedom -- then-President George W. Bush spoke about how Rippetoe had on his dog tags "Joshua 1:9" engraved on it.

For the past 20 years, military members have been able to wear dog tags with Bible verses on them, giving them light and hope in some of their darkest times. For some Gold Star families, this is one of their most cherished possessions to remember their loved one who gave the ultimate sacrifice. But all this could be coming to an end.

One wonders how many congressmen actually read the constitution, how many understood what they read, and if any read The Federalist Papers.

It’s a darned certainty none of the dems have.

When I lived in South Florida, eons ago, there was a very active Christian Jewish community. They were both Jews and Christians, you can be both!

Used to work with one very closely. He was very funny in his outlook on things!.....................

"This Weinstein feller is not just an agnostic, he's also a mean-spirited, "virtue"-signaling fool."

From Wiki:

"Weinstein says both his sons were exposed to Christian proselytizing at the Academy. In the case of his younger son Curtis, he reported that it included anti-Semitic language and being asked "how it felt to kill Jesus". His elder son, Casey, a 2004 Academy graduate, alleged that "Senior cadets would sit down and say, 'How do you feel about the fact that your family is going to burn in hell?'"

So consequently this very ugly, damaged man has got to spend the rest of his miserable life doing things like taking Bible versus off military dog tags and screwing with everyone else's lives.

What an ugly creature.

Reminds me of this guy;
