Without starting a religious flame thread, I don’t feel like I want tax dollars being spent on such items that promote specific religious affiliations through our armed forces, or any government faction for that matter.
Albeit seventy percent of the US population is of some varying degree of Christian religiously, the official religion of the United States is still freedom of religion and separation of church and state.
Purchasing these scopes via government contract and tax dollars knowingly suggests we are officially something as a nation we are not. Furthermore, it mildly suggests, not just to Muslims, but to the international community of sheeple at large that these are potentially religious wars with hidden agendas which undermine our true intentions which I think is to just stay safe defensively by executing a good offense.
I too don't want this to turn to a religious thread, but I must correct you. There is no such phrase that you speak of...Separation of Church & state. Please if your going to bring this Liberal speak up you need to point out that what was meant by this term ( that does not exist any where in the Constitution) is that Govt. (not Military I mean Politicians) not force any one religion on us, or restrict, any one religion. Nobody forced us to buy those scopes, nobody forced men to join the army, and no one is being forced thru threat of beheading to follow any one religion. Besides who gives a F... what an evil enemy thinks about our Agenda. We are the good guys, they are the bad guys, they don't count, and neither do there feelings, or their opinions of us. Sorry rant over! "this thread is clean"
