An ABC News investigation has found that coded references to biblical passages are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company.
The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.
REALLY?
Well then praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. We cut that whole “turn the other cheek” thing out of our King Jimmy Bibles [grin].
