ABC News reports that US soldiers are being issued Trijicon sights for their weapons. Trijicon, who makes some of the best weapon sights in the world has been called out for placing biblical passages on their product. Tom Munson, director of sales and marketing for Trijicon, says that the inscriptions have always been there.
The article quotes one of the complainants "It's wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws," said Michael "Mikey" Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an advocacy group that seeks to preserve the separation of church and state in the military.
"It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they're being shot by Jesus rifles," he said.
Thought the story was interesting and kind of ironic, given our enemy's reason for fighting. The entire story can be read here:
