I found something that I think you forgot to add to the last word in your post. Here it is:

I say we start an unofficial official rumor, then publically deny we would EVER do such a heinous thing to deprive scum sucking terrorists their eternity in paradise, just because the corksuckers believe that heaven’s gate is unlocked by personal explosives.

Its a sorry day when the enemy gets to dictate the kind of scopes they get to be shot with.

Political correctness has reached a whole new level of the ridiculous.

NOw I don't think Marines should be shot with Muslim rifles that have " Allah Akbar" encoded on them either!That has to stop RIGHT NOW!

At my unit we put our own little captions on the buttstock. One guy has “Hebrew Hammer” on his. Mine says “Ticket to Paradise”

LOL!

I was talking about this with a friend yesterday. He's a Marine Veteran (Vietnam). He made a great point. You don't mess with what's working. Those scriptures have been on the sights for 20 years without anyone making an issue until Obama comes into office.

To a Marine, his rifle is like an extra appendage. Don't mess with it by removing something from it! Most, if not all of them probably look at it as a blessing and one that shouldn't be tampered with.

Every Marine must memorize this creed. And, every Marine must live by the creed.

"My Rifle: The Creed of a United States Marine."

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.

This is a sad commentary on the state of political correctness in this country.

Exactly! It would be cheap propaganda that would reap great benefits!

Exactly! Pershing did the right thing! Too bad everyone here is so PC. Just a simple thing like that can go a long way.

"If there is one complaint I have for some folks on here is that they get excited over a person who does something good and wants them to run for President without even knowing their beliefs or even their issues."

George Patton was a soldier and a General Officer. He never aspired to politics and when he was made military governer of Bavaria tried to refuse the position. He wanted a post at West Point in The War College but was never given the chance. I hope that explains my position on this matter.

>>Earlier today, Gen. David Petraeus, who commands CentCom, which oversees U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, told a D.C. thinktank that the company’s practice was “disturbing …and a serious concern for me” and field commanders.<<

General Petraeus?? How disappointing!

There are doubtless people who saw benefit in having those biblical references around. Maybe the company can encrypt them in a long, long product id number. Find that, suckas.

I agree with ya. This proves priorities are more about political correctness than fighting the people who started this whole damn thing, and some idiot gets to dictate what is on our guns?? What's the next thing? Guns required to be unloaded before firing?

This world has gone crazy.
