EXCLUSIVE: The army secretary ordered the West Point Crete to the School of West Point on the Bibles at the Cadets of West Point, overthrowing a Biden Age of the Biden’s era not to include the Bibles during the replacement of the Bibles.
“Since the West Point and Before, generations of cadets, officers and soldiers have attracted the strength and inspiration of the Word of God,” said Army Secretary Dan Driscoll in a Friday declaration at Fox News Digital. “The decision to withdraw the historic ridge of the Bible Academy in the Chapel of the Cadets is another example of the previous administration which pushes distant policy on the left in our military institutions. I direct West Point to overthrow this decision immediately and to restore this important symbol of duty, of honor, of the country.”

Driscoll’s statement comes after Fox News Digital said for the first time that a conservative judicial and government surveillance group had brought a Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) trial against the Ministry of Defense on Tuesday to find out why the screen was absent from the new Bibles.
A West Point spokesperson refused to comment to Fox News Digital on Friday.
Judicial Watch presented for the first time a request Foia in December 2024 to request files related to the Bibles, after the MacArthur Society, a group of West Point graduates concerned by potential politicization at the Military Academy, informed them of the abolition of the Bible crest.

When he was asked for comments on the new Bibles, a West Point spokesman told Fox News Digital that the chapel bibles now had the name of the military academy.
“The Bibles bought for the Cadet Chapel of West Point are wooded by” the United States Miliary Academy, West Point, New York “, the spokesman said in a statement at Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
Judicial Watch filed the request for the original of the Foia to learn more about the decision, because of the concerns that the Military Academy seeks to eliminate links with what the group labels “traditional values”.
But after receiving any response for the documents, Judicial Watch Tuesday filed a complaint against the Ministry of Defense for the documents.
“The lifting of judicial surveillance obtains results,” said judicial surveillance president Tom Fitton in a declaration of Friday at Fox News Digital. “Will show again how our prosecution exposing corruption can correct corruption. The American army and West Pote cannot be mistaken by honoring God.”

The Pentagon told Fox News Digital that he does not comment on the current disputes.
The combination of religious content or symbols with military equipment has been faced with a counterpouil historically.
In 2012, the four branches of the military approved a military series of Standard Christian Bibles Holman which had been sold in military exchanges with regard to the series that the series indicates that the Bible was the official religious text of the military services, according to the military Religious Freedom Foundation.
The West Point Crest has undergone several iterations but has historically included an eagle above the school mascot, the Black Knights.
West Point is one of the many American military academies that form students to become military officers.
