From Yahoo! News, NZ army to remove Bible citations from armaments:

Biblical citations inscribed on U.S.-manufactured weapon sights used by New Zealand’s troops in Afghanistan will be removed because they are inappropriate and could stoke religious tensions, New Zealand said Thursday.

The inscriptions on products from defense contractor Trijicon of Wixom, Michigan, came to light this week in the U.S. where Army officials said Tuesday they would investigate whether the gun sights — also used by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq — violate U.S. procurement laws.

All kidding aside, this has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read. So it is ok to shoot someone as long as we do not potentially offend them first? Who is really offended by this? My guess is only those who would have the gun pointed at them anyway so what difference does it make? How far can we carry this idiotic political correctness before we completely cripple ourselves? I will say that I find the reference to the Bible a bit odd on a firearm or firearm component but that is a debate for another day. Let’s just pray that the manufacturer politely tells New Zealand and everyone else to go find a sight that does not offend them. My understanding is that Trijicon produces the best optical sights on the market and they should use that as leverage to tell everyone else where to stick it.

One last thought, if one were to use their Trijicon produced scope to shoot In-N-Out cups for target practice which product gets condemned? Both products have Bible verse references on them that have “offended” someone but both cannot be bad if you use one to destroy the other right? Oh how silly we have become.
