Pico - Seriously? You think there is a disconnect between the Bible and killing? Might want to flip through a couple pages of that book again.
The US military is not a christian or crusader's army, it is an army put forth by the US. They need tools like scopes and night sights. Those tools are made by a company that happens to put a series of letters and numbers on the equipment. If an atheist, jew, or muslim feels compelled to read those letters, grab a Bible, read the verse and be offended... fuck 'em.
Of course, you can sit and home and be offended if you want but I don't really give a shit. How many of you were offended to find out that the report on the Ft Hood shootings makes no mention of the shooter's motivation and faith? None that I can see. Read a report that there are references to Bible verses (all havign to do with light) on scopes and night vision gear and Lookout! Here comes the handwringing and tears.
