Company inscribes rifle sights with coded bible verses
Military officials have confirmed that U.S. combat troops are using rifle sights inscribed with coded Bible verses. The sights, made by Christian-owned weapons company Trijicon, contain engraved references to biblical passages such as “JN8:12” and “2COR4:6.” Critics say the coded weapons make U.S. soldiers look like anti-Muslim Crusaders, but a military spokesman responds, “Are we going to stop using money because the bills have ‘In God We Trust’ on them?”
