The soldiers who wake up in Walter  Reed Medical Center are in Maryland, not communist China. But,under the  Navy's new rules, they may not know the  difference!   After  months of peeling away the  military's core values, Obama's  army is on the move. And this time, it has a high-value target: the  Bible.   In a memo  obtained by FRC, Navy officials have announced that "no religious items (including Bibles,  reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed to be given away or used during  a visit." The new orders are buried in a four-page document about patient  care, which an Army officer forwarded to us in  disbelief!   Effective  immediately, families, friends, and even pastors will have to check their  beliefs at the door to visit one of the largest military hospitals in the United  States  Last night, after we circulated the memo to leaders on the Hill, an outraged Rep. Steve King  (R-Iowa) took to the House floor  and blasted the  policy!   "Mr.  Speaker, these military men and  women who are recovering at Walter Reed and Bethesda have given their all for  America! They've defended and taken an oath to the  Constitution, and here they are. The people who come to visit them can't bring a religious  artifact?They can't bring a  Bible? ... A priest  can't walk in with the Eucharist and offer communion to a patient who might be  on their deathbed because it's prohibited in this memo from the Department of  the Navy?"   This is Obama's  military,  where homosexuality is  celebrated and Christianity is censored; where witches are financed and crosses are scorned; where bestiality is embracedand Bibles are banned; where same-sex "weddings" are  encouraged but international charity is  not! After three years of ideological warfare, the Obama administration's  intent is clear: to disarm the military of its biggest  weapon…..FAITH!   Regardless of Obama's agenda, there is absolutely nothing in the  Constitution that empowers the government to stop family members from giving  Bibles or crosses to their loved ones! And from a PR standpoint, I'm not sure the  best way to boost approval ratings is by denying comfort to  wounded warriors! Unfortunately for our troops, who have endured so much  turmoil under the Obama administration, this is  another blow!   Hopefully,  with the help of Congressman King and others, it's only a temporary  one.   Even  liberal Snopes says it’s true:<a href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/walterreed.asp" target="_blank">snopes.com: Walter Reed Bible Ban</a> </td></tr></table> </blockquote>
