I’m sure some of you already saw this, but apparently Trijicon has been inscribing references to Bible passages<\/a> on its optics. After several media outlets issued reports about this, Trijicon agreed to remove the inscriptions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is a report on the inscriptions from ABC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I used the ACOG a lot during my time in the Marines and I never noticed this. The serial number is on the topic of the optic and I honestly never really paid attention to those numbers and letters towards the base of the scope. I never heard anybody in the Marines or any of my buddies in the Army mention the fact these inscriptions existed on the ACOG, so if Trijicon’s intention was to spread the word of the Lord to the users of their optics, I don’t think they have succeeded. Regardless, it was a stupid thing to in the first place. Now they have to remove the inscriptions from thousands of optics, which cost the company millions, money that could have gone into developing better products. Anybody with half a brain, knows that the Iraqis, Afghans, and the US military are extremely sensitive to any accusation of promoting Christianity (in other words, “crusading”).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
