Why do these losers always say that [insert anything the US does] will cause more terrorist recruits?
There something wrong with their brains so they only thing running through them, besides hamsters, is tape recorded messages, or what?
Since our task is to kill the enemy, let's get on with the job. Having 2COR16:12 stamped on the gunsight of a man wearing a cross and carrying a bible in his pocket means what, to the enemy?
It means nothing.
My problem with it is based solely on the fact that tax payers are paying for religious inscriptions. That nonsense needs to stop. Unless we're going to include EVERY religion in America?
Because it's always, "America's fault". Look at the cry baby crap going on about our response to the Haiti earthquake.
I'm not sure if it's jealousy, because we're the greatest nation on Earth, or just stupidity.
Yes, and I'm sure tons of money is going into inscribing a couple of letters and numbers. :roll:
These are weapons. They are used to kill people. I couldn't care less what they have on them. I think getting upset over a couple of tiny inscribed letters that happen to be biblical references on a weapon is a little silly, considering what these things are being used for. I just find the fact that it has biblical references on it hilarious.
They can be jealous AND stupid.
Usually, the two go together.
I can't wait to find out that it's just a coincidence.

Well over a 600 million dollar contract it could add up to a chunk of change in the 100's of thousands possibly a million or so bucks.
It could very well be. That would also be pretty funny. It probably isn't, though. If so, that's a pretty big coincidence. To be honest, there's also a bit of irony in the PC crowd getting offended by this. A lot of people in the PC crowd are anti-war and to think that they are getting offended over a couple of etched letters and numbers on a weapon to be used in a war that they most likely won't agree with is a bit silly.

I have an idea! All the PC'ers that are hacked off over this, should show their outrage by not buying Trijicon rifle scopes.
I have an idea too. Let's change all the inscriptions to Islamic verses praising Allah. And let you pay for it.
How's that work for ya?
That would be funny. I bet all these "Christians" supporting the unsolicited use of their gods on firearms would **** a brick had it been Islamic verses. I would have still said it would be inappropriate.
Given the irony, it works quite well for me.I have an idea too. Let's change all the inscriptions to Islamic verses praising Allah. And let you pay for it.

Remember this is your tax money being spent for something you may or may not support. Do you like it when some welfare queen spends your tax money on an abortion? How about an illegal immigrant using your taxes for free medical care? You cool with that?
See the big picture here? You're dismissing the complaints of other based on some anti-pc nonsense. This isn't about Christianity or pc language. It's about our tax money going to a defense contractor who just happens to be stamping Christian messages on a gun sight.
It's not my responsibility or yours to pay for that. The sight, yes. The Christian message, no.
Get it now?
That's because it is inappropriate. We the tax payers shouldn't be paying for someone else's bibles verses. And I don't give a damn which bible it is.

We're not paying for a Bible verse. We're paying for a rifle scope that will possibly save American lives and that's all that should matter.
It doesn't surprise me that some folks can't see that.
Now, I would find it offensive as hell if our soldiers were issued substandard equipment, all because some PC bull****.
The rifle sights will work just fine without the inscription. It will save American lives without the inscription. It will kill bad guys without the inscription.
Just like it will with it; so who cares if it's there, or not?
How exactly does a few numbers and letters referencing a biblical code affect the performance of the equipment? The PC people are offended by the fact that they are Biblical codes. It has nothing to do with how the equipment works.
