Is this evidence that the US is just participating in another chapter of the Holy Crusades? Because that’s what the terrorists seem to believe.

I think its pathetic. As for the comment ‘America was partly founded on religion and god, if people are offended or dont like it go to another country’ well read your history. The USA was founded on a secular principle where religion would not influence policy. Would jesus go a bundle on it? I don’t think so. Also if US soldier gets captured by Muslim extremist they would use this as propaganda to the rest of the Muslim World. If a soldier wants to have a religious symbol on hos weapon then it sup to him/her . I drew a Pentacle on the butt of my rifle as I’m a Pagan. I shouldn’t have to have another religions symbol or code on my weapon.

Why are people getting so upset over it now, they’ve been on there for 30+ years…
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
I say give terrorists holy hell.

I think people are making too big a deal out of this. The guy who is putting these scripture codes on these weapons just wants to express his religious views in some sort of way, just like In N’ Out Burger putting scripture on its fast food bags and cups.

i don’t care really. a company made them if they want their serial numbers that way then so be it.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
This is concerning. But, I guess it subdues me.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Does it effect the way the weapons function?? If not, I am OK with it….
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Couldn’t care less.

America was partly founded on religion and god, if people are offended or dont like it go to another country. I hear afghanistan is nice this time of year.

It depends on the passages, of course. If they are for personal protection, that is understandable for the superstitiously minded soldiers carrying the weapons.
Passage on a weapon from the report:
{"Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."}
Whoa, talk about the irony of my point:
"The company has said the practice began under its founder, Glyn Bindon, a devout Christian from South Africa who was killed in a 2003 plane crash."
God obviously doesn’t approve of this business practice.

It is kind of a stretch don’t you think…
I mean, do you HONESTLY believe that these guys know what these codes mean?
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
If it gives strength to those who believe, then good.
If those who use the weapons don’t believe, or know scripture, it’s just a bunch of numbers.
No big deal & as far as I can see, it’s up to the discretion of whoever makes the weapons.
The gun will do its job either way.

They are not "codes". And they have been there for 30 yr. The people who have made it an issue are not Muslims, they wouldn’t even know what those references are. Obviously not too many Christians did either.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Offending the terrorists, let’s not do that. Don’t you mean how much is this going to cost the tax payers to replace all those weapons.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
not really… it’s probably just a case of the military purchasing gear from a company run by a garden-variety fundamentalist christian.
although considering some of the stories i’ve been hearing coming out of the various service academies over the past decade… anti-catholic and anti-jewish hazings, born-again instructors proseltyzing to their cadets, etcetera, this news hardly shocked me.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
I’m very angry about it, but hey, what can I do?
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
It is sacreligious. Christians should be outraged, but of course they are not.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
It doesn’t bother me in the least.
