Damn communist bastards are entrenched everywhere!!
You can’t blame Trijicon.
Here’s my two cents: early in 2009 it was announced that military suicides in 2008 exceeded the number of deaths from enemy action. In the Army Reserve we were required to attend a raft of mandatory classes about `suicide prevention’ with intervention scenarios. The role of the chaplain’s office was barely mentioned; the `buddy system’ was enlisted to instruct soldiers to watch for `warning signs’ such as `starts giving away all his valuable personal possessions’.
2011: an article in Army Times describes the suicide epidemic as unabated and in five pages of small print does not ONCE mention G-d, the chaplain, spirituality, the role of religion or anything at all about the transcendent or the immortal. It occurred to me then that the Almighty has indeed been purged from the ranks of the soldiery.
This story about DOD ordering the defacing of the manufacturer’s Scriptural inscription is appalling but now is longer unexplainable.
Lord help us!
