So now the U.S. military is issuing guns with New Testament inscriptions on them?

Anybody else had enough of this violation of church & state?
Anyone else tired of our soldiers who represent all world religions being hounded and harassed by Christians?

Oh, look he is back on trolling. He was on yesterday pushing his agenda. This tard can’t tell the difference between a contractor and Fed gov. What an idiot.
Don’t you love civilian arm chair generals who have never spent a day of their life in the military.

Why would you care? I doubt you are in or ever have served in the military.
I have my veteran of foreign war medal, how about you?
Oh, looking at the picture, I don’t think anyone would even know that it is there.

Sounds to me like a government contractor is about to go out of business. If I worked for Trijicon, I’d start sprucing up my resume, because a $660 million contract is a big chunk of business to lose.
The irony of putting Biblical quotes about a god who is supposedly love on sights that have likely seen numerous deaths just blows my mind.
[edit]
"We in the US have the establishment clause of the 1st ammendment. "
Not to argue semantics, but the establishment clause has been referred to by the United States Supreme Court as a "separation of church and state" in at least 25 separate rulings.

Uh.. no. If you had read the article you would realize that the US military is not manufacturing the sights for these weapons but they did spend a lot of money to have the company make them. And considering how cryptic the messages are, who cares?

The inscription isn’t the issue, it’s the gun.
Still only a fool believes the state when the state tells them that they serve God by killing the enemies of the state.
We should pay military people five times as much as they get now, but downsize it to a quarter of what it is now.
Sadly this will not happen because Americans worship power.

There is no such thing as "violation of church and state" because "separation of church and state" is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the Constitution. That is a British phrase that is popular.
We in the US have the establishment clause of the 1st ammendment.
ANYPOOP, I agree that biblical codes should be kept off of our weapons. It only enforces the "Crusade" image that the Muslim world just loves to hate and it IS unconstitutional.

Honestly not like it matters. It is just a book of stories not facts. But if are truly into what you believe then nothing is going to stop you from believing..not even logic

It is just letters and numbers.
