What were once unacknowledged, relatively infrequent targeted killings of suspected militants or terrorists in the Bush years have become commonplace under the Obama administration. And since a devastating December 30th suicide attack by a Jordanian double agent on a CIA forward operating base in Afghanistan, unmanned aerial drones have been hunting humans in the Af-Pak war zone at a record pace. In Pakistan, an “unprecedented number” of strikes -- which have killed armed guerrillas and civilians alike -- have led to more fear, anger, and outrage in the tribal areas, as the CIA, with help from the U.S. Air Force, wages the most public “secret” war of modern times.

I wonder what is written on these bombs?

Perhaps something like these. . .

Damm right.

Define 'they'.

I think we were talking about a group of people who may or may not be offended by markings on a scope. We are worried about offending a group of people we are already looking at through these scopes though, so... who gives a damn.

To make my position perfectly clear: I don't care about the markings. While I am a Christian I think stuff like that is just hokey. I don't own the company though, so that is their choice. What I do care about is the sad little people running around crying, "aaaagggghhh, we might have offended someone!".

I agree with, the "sad little people" of the PC brigade, are not my concern, but if Petraeus and McCrystal feel it gives the enemy a propaganda advantage, then it must be rectified. It's our absolute obligation to support our field commanders in any, and every, way possible.

lookout123 · 01-28-2010, 11:47 AM

If our generals want it off then the company has to choose between their verses and their contracts. Seems pretty easy to me. I do support the generals on this but I wonder if they'd have become involved if it weren't for the PC brigade in the first place.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-28-2010, 11:51 AM

If it weren't for the PC brigade, it probably wouldn't have become an propaganda opportunity for the baddies. But that's a moot point now.

classicman · 01-28-2010, 12:14 PM

Unfortunately thats correct, xob.

TheMercenary · 01-28-2010, 01:28 PM

Most importantly, will it hit what I want when I put the crosshairs on it. I doubt most of them care. I suspect that the majority of those who care are not from the country of distribution. They are just happy to have something other than iron sights on the back of an AKS.

I think it was all the muslim people who are NOT terrorists that they are worried about offending and or turning into terrorists because of these microscopic writing on a piece of ancillary equipment.

That makes sense. I can just hear Abdul now, "Mohammed, they have verses on some of their scopes! I will quit being an accountant today and blow myself up in protest!"
