Seems a supplier of rifle scopes to the U.S. Military had bible verse codes imprinted on their product. Is this fricking sick or what?!
They ought to be stripped of their government contract for such flagrant abuse of U.S. law AND prosecuted to the fullest extent.
These idiots sound like Bush presidency hold-overs....

"It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they're being shot by Jesus rifles," he said.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

Weinstein, an attorney and former Air Force officer, said many members of his group who currently serve in the military have complained about the markings on the sights. He also claims they've told him that commanders have referred to weapons with the sights as "spiritually transformed firearm[s] of Jesus Christ."
US Military commanders describing troops rifles as "spiritually transformed firearm[s] of Jesus Christ."
