Of course if everyone shut their mouth about it - they wouldn't ever know about the verse to begin with...

I still truly wonder how this story warranted "an ABC News investigation". You know if the scopes had anything supporting allah printed on them there would be no comments at all from the MSM. I'm glad I'm retired 'cause I'd sure find the negativity of this article very disheartening.

We aren't on a Crusade? And it's not about oil and preserving a British empire's holding(Kuwait).
What was I thinking?

The question must be asked, has anyone that has been shot with one complained?
This has been on ACOG for some time and is as far as I'm concerned a nonissue. The muzzies were mad before 9/11 and as far as I can perceive they will continue to be PO'ed until all the Western world converts.
Those who live in America, the Great Satan, are infidels no matter what we shoot them with and that is according the muzies.

It certainly does nothing advantageous. Mushashi was right, when he said "do no unnecessary thing."
On a side note, check out NSN 9925-01-353-8791.

I have no problem with it being there. Why it's news is beyond me - particularly when compared to what else has happened in the last 2 weeks. +1. Typical politically correct BS.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

The only thing I'll say is why risk it. Dick around and get your contract yanked and then what are going to be putting on some rifles....tasco's?

I was a paratrooper with the 82nd back in the day and anything that would help me stay alive in a combat zone is an asset. I don't care what writing it had on it. I don't think the solders will care either. It will be a travesty if the military takes the sights away from the people who need them the most because of a politically motivated stunt.

The funny thing is that the separation of church and state law is suppose to keep the state out of the church not the other way around. Yep...Besides, that phrase isn't in the Constitution. It supposedly originated from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802. The Supreme Court quoted it from the Bench in 1878. In 1947, a number of cases in the Supreme Court began to incorporate it into law based on the quote in 1878, to the extent now that most believe the phrase is directly from the Constitution. PS. I had to look up the dates.

One of the sparks of the Sepoy Rebellion in India was the rumor amongst the Hindu and Muslim troops that the paper cartridges used in the British Enfield rifles were greased with either pork or beef fat. I hope there is no futher parallel here.

Are the Bible verse numbers only on the military contract versions, or were they there on the civilian models, and the models the troops were buying with their own money?

BW beat me to it. Around here, many reservists bought their own before they went over. How's that work if the military yanks them?
On another note, the people who ran with this at ABC need to be hung for treason. this isn't the same as faking a story about GWs military record. They know making this a big story is probably going to get kids killed. God save their souls.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Do you suppose this is something that can be fixed with a little bench grinder-fu?

maybe Weinstein would prefer "made in china" on the sites helping to preserve his freedom.
