Navy Tries to Convert Jewish Veteran in Hospital
navytimes.com — Navy veteran David Miller said that when he checked into the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Iowa City, he didn ’t realize he would get a hard sell for Christian fundamentalism along with treatment for his kidney stones. He said he went hungry each time because the hospital wouldn’t serve him kosher food, the staff refused to contact his rabbi.

He said he has tried to resolve the problems with the hospital’s administration without success."
Oh Noes! Christians expressed a CHRISTIAN viewpoint! The horror!
I'm sorry the Christian Chaplains weren't happy to change their beliefs to accommodate your own, but the bottom line is, if you don;t accept Christ, you're going to Hell.- JCSaint, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Hey Dickehad,
The problem wasn't that they wouldn't change their views but that they harassed him, refused to contact his rabbi and disrespected his beliefs. How would you feel if a Muslim was constantly trying to convert Christian soldiers in military hospitals and if the hospital wouldn't let them eat pork? All in the name of religious freedom, right?
Maybe you should have read this part:
“I am not trying to get rid of the chaplain corps,” Miller said. “When I was in the Navy, I was a religious program specialist. I worked with Christian chaplains, and I believe in the value of the chaplain corps, but not using it to bludgeon people, for heaven’s sake.”
