U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes

Well since the owner was probably one of those West Michigan Amway-fundies, and whichever General in charge of contracting was of Armageddon-happy mofos, then I wouldn't be suprised if they were all hallelulah about it.

Sadly, he's from Wixiom.

Inspirational scope for the sand dweller about to divorce his wife...

Proverbs 21:19
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

The literal translation is "desert" not "wilderness" as I recall..

[Jesus Christ]

I don't suppose they included My words from the Sermon on the Mount in any of these abomination weapons.

Do the words "Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS" ringeth a bell???

[PETE'S BROTHER]

Dude, I bet you could sell these to the religious right nut jobs out there.

fuck that, sell 'em to the contractor.

[Blackflag]

In N' Out does it, too...and they're hamburgers are fantastic.

Sure it rings a bell, but Peacemakers don't need scopes. Geesh!

What's really sad is the zealot fucks either don't realize, or don't care - that they're playing right into the hands of the zealots on the other side, who already claim we're in a "Holy War"....

FFS how can anyone be that fucking dumb? More like they're not, they probably believe they ARE making guns for Jesus and getting their Holy War on...

Perhaps he can answer but why would Jesus need a gun, when he's already able to throw the divine version of the Repulsor Ray from his fingertips?

Firm will remove Bible references from gun sights

By RICHARD LARDNER, Associated Press Writer – 8 mins ago
WASHINGTON – A Michigan defense contractor will voluntarily stop stamping references to Bible verses on combat rifle sights made for the U.S. military, a major buyer of the company's gear.

In a statement released Thursday, Trijicon of Wixom, Mich., says it is also providing to the armed forces free of charge modification kits to remove the Scripture citations from the telescoping sights already in use. Through multimillion dollar contracts, the Marine Corps and Army have bought more than 300,000 Trijicon sights.

The references to Bible passages raised concerns that the citations break a government rule that bars proselytizing by American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, which are predominantly Muslim countries.

A spokesman for U.S. Central Command initially said the Trijicon sights didn't violate the ban and compared the citations on the sights to the "In God We Trust" inscription printed on U.S. currency.

On Thursday, however, Army Gen. David Petraeus, Central Command's top officer, called the practice "disturbing."

"This is a serious concern to me and the other commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan," Petraeus told an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

In a statement issued later by the command, Petraeus said that "cultural and religious sensitivities are important considerations in the conduct of military operations."

New Zealand announced Thursday that they would remove the citations from the sights they have, and Australia, which also uses the sights, is assessing what to do.

New Zealand defense force spokesman Maj. Kristian Dunne said Trijicon would be instructed to remove the inscriptions from further orders of the gun sights for New Zealand and the letters would be removed from gun sights already in use by troops.

Boy, that didn't take long!

Fuck Patraeus. It's war.

A scope with an etching of Exodus 2:12 would be

Stenciling names or slogans onto the gun tubes of MBT's, Howitzers and turrets of smaller combat vehicles are nothing new, in fact I'll bet there's an "EXODUS" on someone's gun tube for the entire world to see as we speak.....probably on something that belongs to an E co. or E troop.

This is just another blatant case of liberal crybaby pussy bitch .


WHO GIVES A FUKK!!.

The only person who should have anything to bitch about is the company who ordered the produst and if this in anyway voids a contract or deviates from the original specs signed off on.

It's NOT NEWS!!!!

And to tie it to The Mid-East Conflict is SoFuukingGhey to anti muslim in anyway is silly.

[chefcraig]

Well, the good news is that the enemy isn't seeing our sights up closely enough to read a small inscription on them.

The issue isn't with the enemy, it's one of causing offense to the Iraqi and Afghan soldiers training with the rifles. It usually isn't a particularly bright idea to insult your allies.

Now Craig, don't go using logic on these guys

Well then ask them if they care to shove the rifles up thier ass and fight with the fukking nothing they have invented or designed for the protection of thier way of life since the goddamn, rock throwing stick.

Or it is two yahoos at the sight company with a engraving pen and a doobie at lunch hour.

Anything to try and make America look bad for you guys, you just jump on it and make all kinds of bullsh!t up.

No harsh on you craig but this mind set has got to stop it is rediculous.

These Mf'ers would fight with red white and blue bullets if someone was shooting at them.

It's not news, it is a HR issue within a company that could cost that company a contract, just due to employee control isues.

And someone thier jobs.
