did the soldiers remind hteir superior officers that our constitution guaruntees freedom FROM religious persectuion and that the right to freely express religious affiliation shall NOT be infringed?
Hopefully not, as they would look like ignorant fools. These scopes are government property and the government can do what they please with them. The government generally specifies exactly what markings are made on equipment that they buy, but clearly someone was not paying attention.
There are lots of religious freedom issues out there that are worth fighting for. This is not one of them.
Constitutional rights are limited by the UCMJ.
