We have many brave service men and women who risk their lives, daily, to keep us safe. These brave people may be Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, one of the many other religions, or they may be Atheists and Agnostics.
Therefore, the Judeo-Christian Bible has no place being forced upon the women and men in our Armed Services. If they wish to have a Judeo-Christian Bible, they are free to do so. If they do not wish to have one, do not castigate them because of their choice.

I’m confused by your last sentence Carla Skidmore who wrote “If they wish to have a Judeo-Christian Bible, they are free to do so. If they do not wish to have one, do not castigate them because of their choice.”
I believe you meant to say if a person wishes to carry a Christian Bible they are free to do so. If they don’t, then they have that choice too. However, when it comes to the placement of the Christian Bible on the POW/MIA table the decision must be to leave the table religion neutral. No books at the table is the rule and best choice in my opinion.
