Nope...Knew they were there. A positive for me with the irony of the miltary using them to kill islamic terrorists.
Let me get this straight:
-you bought Trijicon products in the past having NO CLUE that they were sneaking bible verses onto the casting.
They got caught & it is causing headaches for our military. so at the military's request, they won't proselytize secretly.
You think that justifies boycotting Trijicon?!?!
Again, anyone rationalizing that saving monetary income for Trijicon due to their caving in probably also supported the NAFTA and other liberal issues that attempt to quickly bring the rest of the world up to America's standards (or remove America from it's greatness and move it down to the the level of the rest of the world). Politcal correctness and greed are allowing the other sides to win.........
Wonder if our Founding Fathers worried about the loss of sales of goods to the British army before starting the Revolutionary War?

Im Jewish, ive never read the bible and truthfully i dont plan on doing so as i do not have the time.
Having said that, i respect the desires of a company to put bible verses on their products. Does it affect me or offend me in any way shape or form?
Heck no. If the scope was pink and looked like a vagina i would still put it on my rifle so long as it did what it was intended to do, ie magnify a target so i can hit it more accurately.
Seriously, what the heck is going on with this country? Everyone is offended by EVERYTHING.

I have no issue with Trijicon marking their product.
I don't see any reason they have to notify users of the markings either.
That said, once your customer notices and raises it as an issue it has to be addressed. End of story.
I don't see a conspiracy. I don't see Trijicon caving in. I do see a lot of folks running around looking for an opportunity to be insulted and looking for a reason to bitch and moan.
You try to accommodate your customers in order to stay in business. Some demands you meet, some you don't. Depends on the value of the customer to your organization. I'm pretty certain it's in Trijicon's best interests to accommodate their largest buyers so long as it doesn't jeopardize their profitability, product quality, or ability to reach their company goals.

It is what it is, I would have liked to have seen them leave the verses on their products. It would have shown me that they are true to the beliefs of their company's founders, which is honorable. On the religious note, "..everything you do, do for the glory of God.." religion ties into everything if your religious, its not based on convenience.

I'm glad you said this. I would think it would be equally cool if Trijicon had put "Ain Soph Aur" or "Limitless Light", or other Kabbalistic references.
Again, people's panties are way in a twist over something so silly.

Im dissapointed they caved to not offend some liberal a$$hole or some third worlder who still wipes his a$$ w/ his bare hands
Im amazed how so many Christians cave so easily, I guess money is more important than principle!
Now I guess we better stop using our rifles, ammo and equipment as they were all made in a nation by employees who are mostly Christians lest we offend someone
