Actually, having a bible quote on a brief is pretty standard fare.  Particularly any Staff brief, since the Chaplain will always put one in.

My sister's ex-fiance was a Hassidic chaplain in the military.  He was the one-man rebuttal to the notion that Jews are smart.

I've seen a few of those ... (second sentence, not the first)  :D

Do Jewish chaplains have to provide their own head cube or does the military issue them one?

Every unit has a chaplain on Staff, who will usually contribute a slide with a bible verse or religious quote to a brief.  That's pretty normal and standard at virtually all levels.  We're not Godless heathens, like you degenerated euroweenies, after all.

I understand having chaplains around for religious services for those so inclined, but anything more would be violating the separation of church and state.

Well naturally.  They will not order a soldier to attend a religious service.

But just having a bible verse on a document is not going to threaten the secular nature of the government.

Wow the only people I hear babbling about Gog and Magog are nutty Orthodox Jews...

I find it had to believe a Methodist would indulge in such bizarre nonsense.

The last time I heard mention of Gog and Magog, it was in a Justice Society of America comic. :nerd:

These were the World Intelligence Updates for the President.  Rumsfeld denies approving them and the Pentagon has said that they don't use Bible quotes any more, I believe the guy believed responsible for them retired in 2003.  So they're not standard, though this could be standard practice lower in the military that got carried up.
