I think it’s because we are training Afstan forces (Haji) to fight the Taliban with our American weapons. I think ABC broke this story not sure. Anyway US shows weakness again the Rag Heads have got be laughing their A$$es off.
Get serious, General. There are more important things to be concerned about. Political Correctness is disturbing.
Cowboy up, General.
Their sights will always have ‘Cross’ hairs. heh heh
Meaning no disrespect, but if this war has proven anything it's that any U.S. soldier taken by Taliban or al Qaida has more important things to worry about then some Bible verse on his sight.
“I doubt Muzzies go to football games”

I’m hoping Trijicon is sitting on a warehouse full of verse marked scopes and will flood the civvie market with them. I’ve wanted a trijicon for years, but they’re a little pricey.
They have been doing this for 20 years and they let this little cretin scare them off...
It wasnt some idiot muzzie who kicked up this fuss, it was MICHAEL WEINSTEIN, from the very dishonestly named, Military Religious Freedom Foundation. http://wwww.mrff.org
Many parts of his dihonest page feature aged Constitution scrolls, or make you half imagine that Ben Franklin will stroll out with buckle shoes, powdered wig, and half-moon glasses, but I asssssuuuure you he is all about stamping on the bibles of US military people:
He was a USAF J.A.G. puke who worked of all people for Ronald Reagan, then made some bucks in the private sector suing folks for Ross Perot. Then he retired at from 2006 and has for the past 4 years been waging Secular Jihad against men who treacherously fight muslim folks who throw acid on girls and say Jews are monkeys (dont ask me).
Sounds crazy huh? Hes overweight, ugly, angry, and other bad stuff things you can see from the news broadcast clips he has at his website:

Yes, while we are out trying to head off Armageddon or widespread terror, this guy chooses to focus on stuff thats written on rifles —amazing, isn’t it?
I do not understand what drives this incredibly deluded, zeppelin-like REMF’ing insect.
Or one in The White House?
They are but well worth it if you can afford one. I'm saving up for one. I hope they stand up to this Bulls#it at some point.
I was thinking along the lines of a part number...
