Military Rescinds Bible Ban After Soldiers Do Something Courageous [VIDEO] According to recent reports from Fox News, the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center claims they are rescinding a policy that prohibits family members of wounded military troops from bringing Bibles to their loved ones. The decision to overturn the ban came just one day after a Republican lawmaker denounced the policy on the House floor. The President of the United States should address this and should excoriate the people who brought about this policy and the individual who brought it about should be dismissed from the United States Military, Representative Steve King told reporters. Before it was overturned, the Medical Center banned any religious items from being given away during a visit. That means you cant bring in a Bible and read from it when you visit your son or your daughter, perhapsor your wife or husband, King told the group. It means a priest that might be coming in to visit someone on their death bed couldnt bring in the Eucharist, couldnt offer Last Rites. This is the most outrageous affront. Sandy Dean, the public affairs officer for Walter Reed announced that the policy was rescinded shortly thereafter. She went on to claim that the instruction was in no way meant to prohibit family members from providing religious items to their loved ones at all. [The policy] flies in the face of not only the Bill of Rights, but 200 years of federal law, claimed Ken Klukowski of the Family Research Council. This current administration is showing unprecedented hostility toward those practicing the Christian faith. King went on to tell the group that Americans must take a very strong stand. He also called the current administration Orwellian. What do you think of the ban? Do you support the military being granted religious freedom?
