My husband and I are both retire police officers and he is a Vietnam veteran and I am left speechless after reading a news article that you are demanding the Army stop distributing dog tags with bible verses. These are only given on voluntary request by the men and women risking and sacrificing their lives and safety. I’m sure you believe this to be a matter of critical importance or you are just reveling in the power surge you’re feeling now that you found that you, one man, have the ability to massively change policy in such a powerful institution and affect so many people by penning one letter. We only have one life and it is very short. I pray you will do some soul searching and see if this is really how you want to spend yours and what you really want your life to be known for. To take away something that brings comfort to others, something that has absolutely no affect on you in any way, just because why? You make me sad.

Shame on you for insisting the DoD stop allowing bible versus to be used on Dog Tags. I am a veteran and though not a church goer I do believe that a lot of service women and men find those versus comforting. You must reconsider your demands!!

” that a lot of service women and men find those versus comforting.”
Yeah and how many of them didn’t find them comforting when the bullets started flying?
Screw you retired police officers. You didn’t care about people’s rights in this country.
